I had a battery leak in a flashlight, but caught it quickly so not a lot of

neutralize the corrosion?

Given your situation, I would simply send the flashlight to the
battery manufacturer to take advantage of their warranty. If the
batteries are a non warranty type, it would be appropriate to simply
discard the corroded item and buy a new, maybe better, one. Your time
has value...use it wisely. Your call.

Have you checked postal package rates lately? Unless he has a
particularly expensive flashlight, the shipping costs might not be worth
the price.
