Default Replacing battery cables...

I have a brand new battery in my Integra and so I assumed it wasnt the problem. I checked it out and there is no corrosion on the battery or terminals, but all the way down the inside of the wire there is corrosion. Any tips on removing and replacing the cable and preventing this from happening again? Ground problem maybe?

it would help if we knew WHAT your problem was in the first place.

and yes, replacing wires isnt a bad idea, i dont know what you mean by tips... wire are wires.

There is corrosion throughout the INSIDE of the WIRE.

Tips = Advice

Maybe an idea of how I could prevent it from getting corrosion again.

Thanks for nothing idiot.
