I wondered if I could clean the contacts in the corroded battery pack in my recent Charity Shop find.
I ended up using ViaCal which is used for cleaning lime-scale. It seemed to work, but it is a skin irritant, so I wore gloves. After cleaning the contacts, I washed them in water and then sprayed them with a lubricant that is supposed to protect electrical contacts from corrosion.
I don't claim to be an expert here, I was just seeing what would work for me.
