Sorry for the cruddy "cut & paste" work with pictures - I'm still trying to get the hang of posting pics.

Seconding GlenSullivan’s post on page 1, you can change out the top end of the cable without having to replace the whole wiring harness. I did it on my 2013, and the total cost of the Ford part was about $25. Haven’t had any problems in the last 2yrs/45K miles.
SSM 48123 - 2012-2019 Various Vehicles - Battery Cable Clamp Corrosion Repair
For Ford and Lincoln vehicles that require positive or negative battery terminal replacement, it is not necessary to replace the complete battery cable harness (14300 and 14301) for this concern. Positive battery cable clamp BT4Z-14450-AA and negative battery cable clamp BT4Z-14450-BA are available for this type of repair. Do not cut or shorten the battery cable, instead carefully remove the affected battery cable clamp and clean the cable end as necessary to preserve wire length. Some rework may be necessary for some vehicle environments. Bend the new positive battery cable clamp as needed and crimp it to the existing battery cable. Make sure to use heat shrink tubing over the battery cable to battery cable clamp connection. Obtain the heat shrink tube locally.
