With the cables off now on ONE battery, Pull out this battery and using a bristle brush, clean the compartment and cables. Use Baking soda and water to wash out area. Reinstall that battery, cut one zip tie and reattach the back cable to the post. Do the same thing to the other cable to the front post connection. Make sure each cable is tight to the clamps and spray the clamps with the anti corrosion spray. May have to spray the compartment with baking soda and water if it needs it. Oh yeah, if you have a camp stool, it comes in handy cause you'll be awhile doing this. If you have to add any water to the batteries, get distilled Water and do it while you have the batteries out. Have lots of room to do it here.

Oh yeah, learned something else. If you take off the plastic covers to the cables, you will see the positive cables are RED colored and the negative cables are BLACK colored. The cable lugs are all colored Red with end of plastic covers covered in black. Personally I think that taping the cable ends with Red and Green tape is a good idea too.
