Should I consider battery corrosion protection on the brand new car?

Also do not attempt to do this with your bear hand. Use protective gloves (oven mitts ok) head gear with full face guards, thick rubber apron, a grounding wire and protective foot wear.
Also let your neighbors know your attempting to battery work. And for shits and giggles call the fire department just so they can be on stand by. I'm sure @humfrz would agree

In addition, have a HD fire extinguisher standing by. A hydrogen sulfide explosion is nasty to contain. Also, have a 5 pound bag of baking soda at the ready to neutralize any of the sulfuric acid that escapes. Rig up a garden hose to make an eye wash station, in case your face mask is blown off. Do NOT wear clothes that you wish to keep - battery acid will eat them up before you can get them to a washing machine.

After you finish, be sure to take a long, hot shower, scrubbing your entire body with a stiff, horse hair brush and lye soap until blood is almost drawn.

Yep, between ol Mr.ac 's recommendations and mine, you should be OK.
