Did a battery leak damage your camera, remote control, GPS, flashlight, toy, or other electronic equipment? Don't throw it away. In most cases, you can easily fix it. It is surprising how many people don't know the correct and easy way to remove corrosion from batteries that almost always will eventually ruin your electronics if left in too long. Also, people get batteries confused and use the wrong method for the battery they have.
I think that stems from the fact that in the past all batteries were acidic based and people used baking soda to neutralize the acid and help dissolve the deposits. This does not work on alkaline batteries. However, a simple white vinegar will neutralize alkaline deposits.
If the metal connections have not been corroded too far you would be surprised at the number of electronic items that can be saved even if they have giant deposits on the battery connections.
Just a little baking soda or vinegar continuously added will over time with a little scraping remove almost all the deposits.
When you're done you can neutralize any liquid that's left over with plain water which has a neutral pH and then add some alcohol and let it dry.
If you are at risk of getting liquid inside your electronic item you can apply the vinegar or baking soda with the battery compartment upside down so the liquid does not go inside the item.
In many cases, the corrosion will have removed the plating from the metal battery connections and will become more easily corroded in the future. It helps to add some dielectric grease on the connections to future corrosion.
If you need to leave the batteries in for a long time it is good to reverse half of them so there is no current running through. You can also add a small piece of wax paper or plastic between the connections or remove them and put them in a plastic bag with the item.
You can also use NiMH Nickel Metal Hydrate or Li-ion Lithium-ion batteries which rarely leak. Although Lithium can burn or explode. I find to have less leaking with lithium batteries. However, some electronics prefer you do not use rechargeable lithium batteries in them.
