So I have a D19 that I’ve switched to negative ground and it charges perfectly but for some reason I get an excessive amount of corrosion on the terminals,battery tray and below the tray on the side panels and anywhere there’s a bare spot where the paint is chipped,even the bolt heads. Any idea. Thanks in advance

Probably not much. Clean everything up well. Use a weak baking soda solution to clean all the acid up and do that once or twice a year. Apparently negative ground systems are worse than positive ground for this problem. Also make sure you are not in an overcharge situation as that will make it worse - leakage at battery. Make sure the grounds are good and clean at both ends of the cables.
