Sanding the corrosion off the terminals should help.
I could try using some sandpaper on the terminals and see if that helps, which when I did some initial cleaning on the battery terminals i just used soap and water on some q-tips and then a flat-blade screwdriver to bust loose any stubborn corrosion. By the way the terminals on this radio are all solid copper, would using some metal polish like brasso work to clean the corrosion off of these terminals as well?
