Thanks Chuck,
Thats exactly what I was looking for. Should have googled
it myself but was half asleep as well as suffering from a head cold. Just about
to leave for a service of remembrance for a Canadian crew of a Wellington
bomber
which came down on one of our local mountains during a wartime training flight.
It is a bleak spot at the best of times made even worse by our present spell of
bad weather.

Assuming that the battery gunk is from alkaline batteries one needs an
acidic solution (ie, vinegar) for cleaning.
