Hi group. Both Maxell CR 2016 3V batteries in my Nova keychain
flashlight leaked after I accidentally went swimming with my keys in
my pocket. Does anyone know how to clean out all of the battery
leakage, it has corroded some of the little metal pieces (rusty
looking)? Also, how do you recycle these batteries?

Radio Shack accepts batteries for recycling.
Household vinegar will probably clean out the electrolyte from the cells.
It works for alkaline batteries,too.
It will not do anything for the rust or restore the plating,though.
