How to Clean Battery Leakage

Choose a well ventilated area to clean the battery leakage in so that you aren't harmed by inhaling any fumes. A garage with the door open, a room with several open windows, or outside on a picnic table are all great places to clean up a battery leakage.

Step2

Put on your rubber gloves and protective eye wear before you begin to clean up the battery leakage. Do not skip this step. While it may not be the fashion statement you are looking to make, and the protective wear may seem a bit cumbersome, it is far more important to avoid harming yourself while cleaning the battery leakage than it is to look cool while doing it.

Step3

Determine whether the batteries that have leaked are alkaline or acid. It is important to know which batteries leaked in your device because an alkaline requires an acid to clean it up and an acid requires an alkaline to clean it up.

Step4

Use vinegar or lemon juice to clean up an alkaline battery leakage. You can use the toothbrush or cotton swabs to move the vinegar or lemon juice around until all of the leaked alkaline has been removed.

Step5

Use baking soda to clean up an acid battery leakage. You can use the toothbrush or cotton swabs to move the baking soda around, although the toothbrush is probably your best bet since you are working with a dry substance.

Step6

Do not introduce water into the mix, stick with the recommended materials for the appropriate type of battery leakage. When you are dealing with a battery acid or alkaline leak it is never a good idea to just start introducing random substances, even water, which may seem harmless but could be dangerous.

Step7

Use a toothbrush or cotton swap to help remove the battery leakage. A toothbrush is probably best for a leakage that is really stubborn, especially if it is an acid battery leakage that will be cleaned up with baking soda since there isn't any liquid to loosen the crud in the battery compartment. Cotton swabs are a great tool for cleaning up any lemon juice or vinegar that may be lingering around once the alkaline battery leakage has been cleaned up. You don't want to leave any moisture behind in any electronic device.

Step8

Stick to the same brand of batteries when you go to put batteries back in your electronic device so you can avoid a battery leakage that has both alkaline and battery acid.

Good Luck!

We have 5 TV in our home " 1 in the livingroom, 3 bedrooms, and 1 in our basement". Three of our TV like to turn on by it self and turn channels all by it self. The TV in the living room, TV in the basement, and the TV in the boys room. It is not from the remote from the TVs. We already test that out. Any reason for this?

Yeah….one of the boy's don't wash their hands after eating peanut butter sandwiches or other sticky, gooey stuff….then he fondles the switches and gets them sticky….then they stick.

So, how do you fix it?

UNPLUG the TV set…..get some alcohol that is 70% (water and alcohol are the best solvent cleaners!)

And get a toothbrush….I prefer MR Fudgy-fingers toothbrush

Dip the toothbrush in the alcohol and just Go To Town on those switches….soak them, scrub them, scrub some more….you can also work the buttons to work the solvent into the sticky parts.

THEN let them dry for an hour….

THEN plug it in and turn it on and if they STILL STICK….it's time to pull the switch assembly out of the TV set and do the process again…

If it still sticks, then you need to replace the switches…

I would not reccomend cleaning a VHS tape contaminated with mold.

But I found this if just might be what you are looking for.

Get a plastic grocery bag and wrap it around the very front edge of the tape (the part that lifts to reveal the actual magnetic tape beneath). Tape the bag securely over this end, as tight as possible. Then, spray Lysol very sparingly over the moldy area. This will kill the mold (which for health reasons is the most important thing!). Try leaving the Lysol on the area for several seconds, and wipe with a cloth or paper towel. If this doesn't work, spray some Lysol again and use an old toothbrush to gently scrub it off. Wipe dry. Tape should be good as new! Good luck
