All batteries sealed or not vent some place out the side or caps on top and those acid fumes cause a corrosion. As said baking soda mix can clean it all off but never get it or aerosol cleaners inside the battery cells. Corrosion will return again after a while if the battery has a leaking post or bad cell venting more fumes out. NAPA and other places carry a handy aerosol cleaner that works well and changes colors telling you when you have all the acid neutralized and then rinse it off with water. They also have a brush or spray on red stuff in a can to help seal out corrosion on battery posts and cable terminals after brushing them clean. Coke works too as a cleaner because of the soda in it to neutralize acid. Auto supplies also have little felt treated washers to put on posts that help retard corrosion. I've used the white lithium grease on posts for years because it helps seal out air for a while so things won't corrode as fast and then spray the protector sealer over posts and mounting brackets also but don't spray it on battery caps sealing those because it still has to vent.
