Yes. For example, a teaspoon in a glass of water is a good liquid for cleaning off acid from car battery terminals.

I have a portable CB radio with eight alkaline double A battery which one battery somehow leaked. White reside has been cleaned with baking soda on the exterior, but four of the batteries are positioned back within the case difficult to clean, can you recommend a process with which to better neutralize the white acid reside. Thank you!!
the toxic gas in the baking soda makes bubbles with the vinegar mixed in it makes a chemical reaction and then makes a new product.
Purchase a special tool designed to clean battery terminals at any auto parts store. Neutralize the acid that has accumulated with baking soda.
Yes, with baking soda.
Best is a wire brush and baking soda. You can use grease to coat the terminals to slow down the corrosion.
If you are asking about cleaning the exterior of the battery then the answer is yes. The baking soda will neutralize the battery acid and the water will clean everything off.
The corrosion on the battery terminals is from the acid inside the battery. Baking soda neutralizes the acid so that it doesn't corrode the battery cables and the metal parts around the battery.
no
Clean it with a mixture of baking soda and water.
Baking soda and water.
A solution of baking soda and water will clean battery acid, as will Coca Cola.
yes
For corrosion problems:Combine baking soda (2-3 Tbsp.) and a little water to make a paste.Apply to battery connections and watch it work. Heavy deposits need scraping.Rinse off with clean water but be careful not to let the baking soda get into the battery's electrolyte (acid) through the vent holes. It will neutralize it and battery life will suffer. Most batteries are sealed up pretty good though.Wire brush the terminals till they are shiny for best results.Petroleum jelly (vaseline) applied on clean terminals will keep them from reacting with the air and corroding again.I have had bad luck with the side terminal type. Top terminals are the way to go.
Buy a tool especially designed for this, at most parts stores. Before you start to clean your battery get some Arm and Hammer or equivalent baking soda, put a small amount into a cup, fill the cup with water mix well and pour over the top and sides of the battery. This neutralizes the acid. Then use a garden hose to rinse off the baking soda. Let your battery dry then clean the terminals with the brush you purchased at the parts store.
