If you are asking about a dry cell that has now discharged and is emitting gooey stuff, then you should remove it from the apparatus immediately (swelling of the cell could cause damage), and the electrolyte (the gooey material) is likely to corrode the apparatus. Clean the apparatus very carefully, as the electrolyte may be hygroscopic and draw moisture to it.

What could cause a battery post on a 6 volt battery to melt?

A battery post on a 6-volt battery could melt due to several reasons, primarily excessive current draw or a poor connection that leads to high resistance. When a connection is loose or corroded, it generates heat from the increased resistance, potentially melting the post. Additionally, using the wrong gauge wires or components that exceed the battery's capacity can cause overheating. Overcharging the battery can also lead to elevated temperatures and damage to the battery terminals.
