I think you misunderstand. Pull the tray the battery sits on. The wire for the starter/alternator runs under the tray and connects to a separate terminal. That terminal can easily become submerged even with just a small amount of water. If it happens enough times, it will degrade and cause the exact issues you're describing.
Mine was so bad I had to chop off the end and redo it with a battery extension cable and terminal. I've heard its semi-common as the water gets in behind the gas cap to body seals and drains down there.
