If a battery corrodes, in a clock for example, what's the most effective way to clean things up and put in a new battery?
user
Well, there are many different kinds of batteries, and the way they corrode differs for each.  But one general method to deal with corrosion is to apply a concentrated acid or base to the metal, and scrub the affected areas.  Sometimes this can be accomplished by dipping the damaged part in a bath of acid.
