With this knowledge, should I just clean off the crud, apply corrosion inhibitor and keep an eye on it? Or should I be considering battery replacement at this point? I'm concerned because I thought these were supposed to be sealed batteries. Input is appreciated, thanks.
Sounds like a reasonable thing to do. OR you could just replace the battery. They're pretty darn cheap so no harm no foul if you just have to get another one.
