Most modern vehicles make it impossible to reverse the polarity by limiting the length of the movable section of the battery wire, so it's usually not necessary unless you have something pretty old or custom wiring.

Aren't these only good if the post is leaking acid? I use dielectric grease or CRC protector spray. Vaseline melts and runs, IME.
I also use CRC cleaner with acid indicator when I clean up the terminals and battery posts and have been lucky lately with no indications of post leakage.
