Baking soda works for car battery terminals, because they are traditionally a sulfuric acid content. The energy cell used in the cameras & smaller appliances of late are alkaline or other types. The baking soda may not help to naturalize the chemical action. If it is of the caustic side or alkaline base, you will need an acid to naturalize it. A vinegar or a little mixture of boric acid will work to clean up the chemical actions in the none acid type situation. Then a rinse off with water to cleanse & deactivate either chemicals would be a good idea. Then dry off with a hair dryer to remove any residual moisture. No guarantees on anything, but do think through the process, before acting. Alkaline burns are nasty so be careful. The Best Mike.... |
