Hi Lou,

When this has happened to me, the first thing that I did was try to scrape
off all the dry acid that I could.  Then I used a damp paper towel to remove
the rest.  Hopefully, you'll still have enough battery contact material to
make a connection.  Good Luck!

Hey OM's and YL's.  I have a couple of devices that, to my =
embarrassment, I've left batteries in while not in use for a long time.  =
One of them is the radio shack talking multimeter.  I'm sure you can =
imagine what I found when I finally opened them up.  What's the best way =
to clean up this mess?  Thanks.  Lou WA3MIX
