This is a problem I've never actually thought about before. I wonder if there 
might be a way to solve it by making some kind of tray that fit under the 
battery. Something absorbent would probably end up being counterproductive, but 
an alum or plastic tray might carry some advantage.

I always intend to spray some LPS-3 on the pan under the battery, any time that 
I have the battery out, but I'm afraid I seldom remember to do this. Even  
engine oil would be better than nothing.
