How To Clean Battery Acid (Corrosion) In Toy Battery Compartments using a Q-Tip

A video showing how to clean up the corrosion or leaked acid from small batteries...like AA, AAA, C, D or 9 Volts. All you need is about 10 minutes, a q-tip, water and some baking soda. Thanks for watching.

I just wanted to say I did this on my old uno attack game that had been stored away for years and just recently brought back out and found corroded batteries inside. I was sure I wouldn't be able to play this game again, but after doing this it works again. My sister and I can play the game again. Thanks! :)

Thank you so much for the tip. Going to do that now!

Thank you!!! I left the batteries in two Halloween toys. I used a toothbrush and rubbing alcohol and nothing. Used your method and both started working again.

Thank you so much for this video. We got a jumperoo second hand for my little guy and after doing a thorough cleaning when I opened the battery compartment and was taken aback. I thought I would have to toss it. Thank you again!

[@ExcelDriveVideo]

Fantastic! Thx for watching.

[@MsVoodoou]

thank you! I started out on the right track but your video helped me save a toy =D

[@ld0yle]

Just what I thought. Thanks.

[@terpsharon]

Thank you. This was helpful. I needed to use my flash light and discovered that the battery acid leaked, and I did not want to throw it away. Thank you.

[@ExcelDriveVideo]

Awesome! Did it work after you cleaned it?

[@hairyhectic1]

Works great! Thanks!

[@ExcelDriveVideo]

No, No! Vinegar and baking soda will make a pretty cool reaction (like a home made volcano). It'd be cool, but make a HUGE mess. I wouldn't do that. But thanks for watching.

Thanks for the tip. I appreciate it. I also got a tiny chuckle when you mentioned that you were using your kid's medicine cap. I hope you wash that out good before Johnny gets sick again. . . Just kidding ;)

Absolutely. It's gross. Thx for watching.

[@hairyhectic1]

How about vinegar in place of water in the wet baking soda step? Thank You for information video.

[@robynd5739]

I hope this does work, cause I bought a fifty dollar toy and I love it but it has battery acid... So I am just crossing my fingers

[@trix1210]

great advice thank - but not a idea to have the toy near running water in case u short circuit and cause water damage to the toy!

[@byushidoran]

You can submerge the toy in water so long as it has no power. You only short things out when you have power. With batteries out, your good. Just make sure you wait a day to have the toy completely dry out before putting batteries in and or plug it in.
