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.

What is the metallic case of dry cell is made of?
The metallic case of a dry cell is typically made of steel or aluminum. This casing serves as both a structural support and a protective barrier, preventing leakage of the electrolyte and ensuring the internal components are safeguarded. The metal also helps to provide electrical connection to the positive terminal of the cell.
Is a dry cell used in a flashlight an example of mechanical energy?
No, a dry cell used in a flashlight is an example of chemical energy, not mechanical energy. The chemical reactions in the battery produce electrical energy that powers the flashlight.
What is the function of manganese dioxide in dry cell?
Manganese dioxide acts as a depolarizer in a dry cell battery, converting hydrogen gas that forms on the negative electrode back into water. This helps to maintain a constant voltage and prevent the cell from losing efficiency.
Is acid an electrolyte for a dry cell?
Yes, acid can act as an electrolyte in a dry cell battery. It helps to facilitate the flow of ions between the two electrodes, allowing the battery to generate electricity. However, dry cell batteries typically use a paste electrolyte rather than liquid acid to prevent leakage.
How a dry cell car battery looks like?

What are some examples of a dry cell battery and a wet cell battery?
A dry cell battery is full of solid or paste-like electrolytes. One example of a dry cell is anode, which is a zinc metal. A wet cell battery is full of liquid electrolytes. One example of a liquid cell is an old car battery.
Does a dry cell battery produce alternating current or direct current?
