Battery Leaked in Transmitter
I have a transmitter where a couple of Energizer Alkaline batteries leaked.
What should I use to neutralize the leakage to prevent further damage?
Thanks,

Mix up a paste of baking soda and water. Smear it over the corrosion and let it sit. Do this a few times then use a light sandpaper to remove the rest of the corrosion.

Sorry, what leaks out of an Alkaline cell is caustic, not acid. Therefore you should use a mild acid, like vinegar, to flush the area clean, then rise with alcohol.
