You will get a good result using baking soda instead.
It neutralizes the acid and also breaks the adhesion of its residue.
You can use it on car battery terminals as well.

Alkaline batteries are not acid based so an acid should be added
to the baking soda to a mildly acidic buffer solution. White
vinegar should do nicely.
