The BEST thing for leaky batteries is a product
called "Lime-Away".
It's sold in grocery stores and is used to remove stains caused by hard
water. Get the liquid stuff, not the gell. Put it on full strength a
wait a few minutes then wash/brush it off. It won't harm plastics. The
main ingediant is phosphoric acid and it will leave a phosphate coating
on some metals. The phosphate coating is similar to parkerizing and will
help prevent future corrosion. It's by far the best thing I've found for
corroded batteries.
I'm assuming that CLR ("Calcium, Lime, Rust") is also good? Or is the
"Calcium-Rust" component of the formula not good for plastics?
