Clean them with a solution of water and baking soda, not just the soda. Clean the whole top and sides of the battery. Use a wire brush on the posts. Then, spray the posts and connections with some kind of anti-corrosion spray. I use Corrosion X on mine, first on the bare posts, then another shot once the wires are connected. Only have to clean them off about twice a season, and they stay hooked up all year! I use the same batteries as you, with an on-board charger on two, and a Shumacher portable for the third. Be sure to check the electrolite (water) level once or twice a year too. Mine get low, and that can "kill" a cell.
Keep 'em clean, keep 'em full and keep 'em charged all the time for max. life. I get about 100 or so re-charges out of mine, or about two years on the starting battery. That's with about 120 days a year of use and daily loads on all of them.
