Best Answer

Set your voltmeter to a low DC Volt range. Connect the negative lead to the battery's negative post. Then move the meter's positive lead across the top and sides of the battery case. If some voltage is read on the meter, current is leaking out of the battery. The battery should be cleaned and then rechecked, If voltage is again measured, the battery should be REPLACED; the case is porous or cracked!

BE CAREFUL BATTERY'S CONTAIN HARMFUL GASES, FUMES, & ACID! WEAR GLOVES AND BE SMART ABOUT THIS! IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING PLEASE BRING TO A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC or SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THERE DOING!

Battery leakage in a dry cell?

Dry cell batteries will leak if left in a piece of electronic equipment for a long time. The chemicals in the battery eventually find a way to seep out of the battery case. They usually leave a white, crystallized mess behind.A quick and effective way to clean up the mess is with Windex! Don't use too much! Get an old toothbrush and spray a little Windex on it. Brush it over the leakage and you will see the white crystals disappear. Make sure you use an old cloth, paper towel, or q-tips to dry all the Windex (you don't want it running around the inside of your electronic equipment.) Once everything is dry, you should have nice shiny metal battery terminals (unless the leakage was too bad.) Put in new batteries and you should be all set as long as the leakage didn't get inside the equipment and ruin a PC board or something.


How do you take care of an ohmmeter?

Never connect the ohmmeter's leads across a voltage.On an analog meter, adjust the zero before use.Turn your ohmmeter off when not in use, to protect against voltage drain.When your ohmmeter's battery is low, or your meter won't be used for a while, remove the battery to prevent damage to the meter from battery leakage.
