Some corrosion is not the least bit unusual, as indicated by the fact that so many people recommend using petroleum jelly or the felt washers you suggest below to prevent it. > It's caused by mishandling that has broken > the case/post seal. One cannot fully prevent the battery's operation from eating away at the seal. On the other hand, if one is constantly inspecting and cleaning the battery's terminals, the white powder indicative of corrosion may be imperceptible.
