Default What is that whiteish stuff on bad batteries (ruins stuff)?

The AA battery was in a deep slot where you can't get a finger or brush
easily in there to clean the alkali, but you can get a liquid (such as
vinegar in there).


You want to let it soak in for a while, and using a wooden skewer or
similar to dislodge any caked material is good...

Then rinse well with water (pure/distilled if possible, rain water is
not bad, well water may not be good).
