will this be a problem

I have a die hard battery that has some corrosion on the positive terminal and a little on the negative. (theres some white stuff that forms around the terminal) If I hook up my wiring to this battery will the metal be eaten through?

Mix baking soda with warm water and pour it on liberally. Depending on how bad it is, use a wire brush, youll be fine.
