How to clean a corroded battery terminal (AA or AAA) & chemical reactions process behind it

In this video, I'll show you how to clean up the corrosion on your (AA or AAA) battery terminals. That blue stuff is very hard to be removed even with a metal wire brush. I will also talk about the chemical reaction process behind this.

Awesome. Clear and detailed instructions. Lotta YT vids do not neutralize the acid after applying

[@meelliemoe]

Awesome video. Saved me money just tonight. Eureka! It works again!

[@shotokekiii]

[@scottdeas834]

Brilliant, loved the explanation.

[@albertoascari2542]

Brilliant. Thanks for this

[@paultootill7062]

Very useful advice - thank you

[@vitaliistep]

The chemistry part is great!

[@encycl07pedia-]

Awesome video!

[@ferndog1461]

Thank you, brother.

[@Pushyhog]

Thanks again.

What should be used to clean up zinc-carbon leaks on terminals, since vinegar can't be used?

[@jamesallen6007]

Many thanks. 👍😷🇬🇧

[@TechShare_]

Good explanation buddy

[@kuttiparuparvathy4578]

So what do we use to remove deposits of copper chloride ? What should we use?

How to clean Zinc Carbon battery corrosion?

[@eeledahc]

Baking soda mixed in water helps me clean the zinc stuff.

[@yanfishtwig2356]

Thanks i enjoyed the extra chemistry info i was worried if the blue copper salt was very toxic or not

[@wojomojo]

You can also just wash away the vinegar residue, no?

[@vuaeco]

Yes, you can use tap water to wash away the vinegar. Tap water is slightly basic so it would be fine to use to neutralize the acid. Baking soda is better if you have it available.

What about rust not blue thing on metal tab? How to remove it?? It’s completely rusted plz give a tip to restore or if not change the panel from battery compartment. Thnx

[@uK8cvPAq]

How do you stop it from coming back?

[@VoltisArt]

Little late, but the real answer is not to use devices for power cell storage. Take the power cells out when not using a device regularly. Yes, this seems annoying and can be hard to remember, but it works every time. All power cells and batteries fail eventually, and it's better if they don't take a more expensive device with them.

How do I clean off the same stuff on the spring end where the battery goes

[@matthewfarmer5284]

Use Qutips

[@noel-ec4iy]

fine steel wool should clean up the spring@@matthewfarmer5284

I almost clicked off. So glad I didn't! Excellent.

[@sheilatannehill2569]

Exactly. Just what I was gonna say😆

5:10 my poor ears...

[@Sunstepa]

How about wd40?

[@Advisor17]

Isn't it dangerous to hold it with your own hand?

[@allenperera6158]

hydrochloric acid is faster

[@skyforce1983]

Or use coca cola
