I had same problem with mine rececently. I also have an amp hooked up along with some PIAA lights. Don't know if this contributed to the problem or not. I replaced the clamps that go on the posts and covered everything metal with some sort of anti-corroding gel that I bought from an auto parts store and it has been perfect ever since.

You can coat the battery terminals with a product found at the local auto store called Fluid Film,or you can use plain old vaseline applied with a small paint brush,just a thin coating should solve the problem.
