I'm overwhelmed with gratitude. Thanks to you, kind sir, I was able to "repair" my husband's allarm clock. This is a very special vibrating clock, because he is deaf and when I'm working shifts it helps him to wake up. Today he was feeling blue, but when he saw it fixed he smiled, and that smile just made my day. Thank you!
Life saver! I've got one of those toddler sleep aids; haven't used it in 5 years and I only just now figured out that the batteries were totally corroded. Thanks to your method, I can use the machine!
Thanks buddy! Your tip saved my 10 year old paintball hopper that I forgot I left a set of batteries in for 6 years before unboxing it. I was looking to buy a whole new one:)
This video is so great. Here here to the "80 cents worth of focus comment". The focus is ABSURD, BUT! The information is awesome. Finally feel like I get the acid base reaction for chemistry. Thank you so much for sharing.
Ive always read that battery acid leaks like that can be neutralized with baking soda and water. Thats what i used (with q tips and a toothbrush) last time i had corroded batteries in a device
Thank you so much,I had a german time piece... I was about to throw it thinking its gone... But your video saved it... I love that piece a lot.... Thanks again❤️
You should probably wipe it with water or baking soda after using vinegar because vinegar by itself applied to steel will cause rust. If it's not a sensitive microcomputer device or if you can pull out the terminal compartment then a squirt bottle is great for cleaning all the stuff you'll never be able to reach by hand with these jobs.
Duracells are real buggers, most leaks in my set of battery powered devices were caused by them, lastly they ruined my radio controlled alarm clock, after clean up, that I did as in video, they started to work again. For me was that reason to start using more low self-discharge NiMH rechargeables or lithium primaries (mainly for long term emergency standby usage). They both might be not as cost efficient as alkalines in very low drain devices, but they at least never leak unless badly misued or shorted out. Thanks for video, method shown here worked for me and my alarm clock is running again (now on NiMH) :)
On the off chance that the battery has leaked through to the circuit board... Is there any chance of saving a doll that's mechanical? I got a mechanical doll from online & when it came in the mail a few day's ago... It has massive double AA battery corrosion. I cleaned out the battery compartment thoroughly but still can't get the doll to turn on thinking the double AA batteries might have leaked onto the circuit board... The batteries were falling apart inside the battery compartment when I took them out... 🤦♀️ Is there any chance the doll can be saved internally? 🤔😢
I tried this with my old N-Strike Barricade RV-10, and it worked! But the locks are broken, but hey, I can fire the blaster with the jam door open, and finger-bang it, like a stryfe.
I have a camera with battery corrosion so when I found out a great nerf that I already watched had a vid on it I was very happy 😊 keep up the great work
Hi. Batteries corroded in my Baby Alive doll. Some corrosion is how you show and describe. But some parts have spots of bright blue corrosion. Do you know how do I treat that? And will it be worsened if I treat the other corrosion with vinegar first? Thanks 🙏
I hope it works with my TI-89 I got a while ago and only just recently found out that it was pretty corroded on the inside, which caused the graph link port to stop working!(the connector to the graph link cable to download things on it, in case you didn't know.) The only thing is, is that I think the copper on the circuit board has been exposed, so I don't know if that part won't be able to be fixed...
Rust is a little tougher. You need to soak the component in vinegar some how. Do this, and you'll get a black substance on the component which you can scrub off. If it's the spring that's rusty, be careful because they can become brittle and break easily! Can you tell me which component is effected?
will this also work with a piano that was in the basement for more than 7 years (I said specifically because this big piano was part of my childhood, heck I learned the Titanic theme song on it) *I learn from an inanimate object* :D
I feel so paranoid about doing this kind of stuff. I'm trying to repair a device called "Galaxy Invader 1000" an old game from like 40 years ago, but the old owner left the batteries in and caused a leakage. Pain.
Tyvm not just how to safely remove battery acid ,but the chemical compounding Difference between zinc and Alkaline batteries.I am worried about the acid on my skin I wear Hospital gloves .
Definetely.I had an 12 year old battery in something and 2 year old duracell in something else.The 2 year old duracell leaked while nothing happened to 12 year old battery
I watched at least 3 videos thinking my hail fire (That i havent used in a year at the time of this comment) was about to sell had battery corrosion, when i open it up, miraculously nothing was wrong with it and all the batterys are dead
I'm glad you liked it! The extra three minutes were just for you ^_^ What's a VDO? Is that a new musical instrument, like a didgeridoo? I do like progressive new musical technologies! It must be exciting to spell it with all caps. Where can I get one? By the way, your keyboard seems to be broken. It added 'dis' in front of 'liked'. Were you aware of that? Anyway, I hope you get that fixed. We all knew what you meant! How long have you been a musician for? Did you start on the didgeridoo before moving to the VDO? Is it pronounced ViDOo? Please respond! You do sound exciting ^_^
if i got a dollar every time the camera were in focus,
id have 80 cents -.-
but intersting stuff, thanks anyway!
You just made me smile ^_^

Thanks so much it worked! You saved the life of a 10 yearold electric dinosaur full of memories today!
Thanks! Now the old Plug N' Play can see the light of day once more.
Happy to have helped! Enjoy!
Thank you. It HELPED ME BIG TIME. You're the reason TH-cam was made for.

I'm glad to have helped! Sounds like a worthwhile save!
You saved my train from when I was seven. I am 15 and I can give it to my little brother
^_^ Happy story!

Thankyou so much!!! Now my daughter's puppy dog toy works again👍😊
Thanks for the science Jolt! Usually I just Lipo them though . . .
Thanks for the video! Very informational! Just cleaned out the transmitter battery casing for a used RC plane I just picked up! Full of acid! Thanks!

Worked great! No more wire brushing when this happens :) Thank you.
Absolute pleasure ^_^ I'm glad to have saved you some time!
Excellent video! You saved a toy I bought for my kid as part of his collection. I really appreciate it.

Just did this and it actually worked! Thank you!
I'm really happy ^_^ glad it was worthwhile! Share with anyone who needs it!
You're awesome
Found myself a Rayven today and found this lovely mess
Hope you get it cleaned up! I love Rayvens ^_^
Giraffe Tetris my friend traded a triad for a rayven. He got a rayven for trading a triad! Y tho!
Khaoticlavad LGI!!!!
What if mine doesn’t say what it is?
@@justajolt I have a toy is zizzle how do I clean out the rust on the springs
Thanks you!!!! You saved me and an old XBox controller today!

Sir you saved my old blaster thank you
Thanks!! Worked like a charm.
Can I use any kind of vinegar or only the distilled one?
Worked a treat. Thanks very much! I saved my Xmas lights :)
Thank you!! I just tried this and it worked!!

I have only very very little corrosion in my xbox one controller but I’m scared that getting the terminals wet with vinegar will break it?

If you have a broken spring, take one from an old device. It just needs to occupy space to make contact.
Great vid!!! Thank you as this helped me to clean a couple of Wii remotes where the batteries had corroded and leaked :(
same
Hi. Batteries corroded in my Baby Alive doll. Some corrosion is how you show and describe. But some parts have spots of bright blue corrosion. Do you know how do I treat that? And will it be worsened if I treat the other corrosion with vinegar first? Thanks 🙏
Treat all with acid. The blue (I think) is hydroxide contaminated with copper, and it should also dissolve with acid.
@@justajolt hi. Thanks so much. I appreciate it. What acid do you mean? I don’t know what that will be. 🙏
@@sehryn Spirit vinegar. is best, but any vinegar will do.
Brilliant that worked......thanks
I probs would have used solvent
Thank you. this really helped me remove this basic/acid goodness
worked like a charm, much appreciated.
I did this, but for some reason it didn’t fizz. It might have been already stabilized or something. I’m not sure
Thank you so much, I was worried I would have to buy another Vulcan
I have an old calculator with a black / dark brown corrosion on the 9V battery terminal. Vinegar doesnt touch it. Any ideas how to clean it off?
I use Worcestershire sauce to clean terminals.
I wonder whats in it to attack the corrosion?
I hope it works with my TI-89 I got a while ago and only just recently found out that it was pretty corroded on the inside, which caused the graph link port to stop working!(the connector to the graph link cable to download things on it, in case you didn't know.)

what about if its rusty

+justajolt Thanks so much for replying, it's both metal sides 😔 "is it dead doc?give it to me gently" 🙇
KoiNadi If you can take them out and leave them in some vinegar for a few hours, you can often rescue it! What sort of toy is it?
How do I get the batteries out if theyre stuck
It worked! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
You're welcome ^_^
Great explanation.
will this also work with a piano that was in the basement for more than 7 years
(I said specifically because this big piano was part of my childhood, heck I learned the Titanic theme song on it) *I learn from an inanimate object* :D
Leslie Jara if its battery powered them yes
thanks, this was a good for a bonding moment with my daughter! (I fixed her robot)
If there's acid in the battery box will that make the toy not work
Hello plant 🌱 😂 amazing video thank you 😊
It worked! Thank you!
I used just vinegar. is that ok?
I think vinegar should work out fine ^_^
justajolt Thanks a lot for the video. I used only vinegar and it worked great.
Timothy DeVoll Perfect ^_^ The swabs are just for extra control.
Timothy DeVoll vinegar is fine it works the same but has solids in it so I would use white vinegar or wash it thoroughly
Thanks my flashlight will see the light of day
Thanks for this vid! With this trick I managed to salvage our old NERF gun.
It's all been worth it! What did you save?
justajolt nerf gun! 😆
That's the best kind of save!
Thanks! Now I know what to do with that nasty gunk.
“How to clean toy battery compartments”
Every other electrical device that takes batteries: o_o
Thank you!
I left some dead batteries in a Nerf gun for a while and there’s alkaline everywhere in the battery compartment. Thanks!
Thanks for your help 👍
More than welcome!
So what do u use to clean carbon zinc batteries?
I would try baking soda for that! Carbon Zinc batteries are mildly acidic, so baking soda and water would be best ^_^
justajolt thank u.
I feel so paranoid about doing this kind of stuff. I'm trying to repair a device called "Galaxy Invader 1000" an old game from like 40 years ago, but the old owner left the batteries in and caused a leakage. Pain.
What would you use if the batteries were Carbon Zinc?
baking soda
😊 THANK YOU
You're welcome!
Potassium carbonate does dissolve as it has a group 1 cation
In every video its the Duracells that are the culprits. Same happend in my remote, duracells leaked 2 years before expiry date 😅
your camera is focusing the background. I can see clearly the belt-like yellow in the background and the white thing in a plastic wrap
In justajolt videos, camera focuses YOU!
Thankyou so much, you’ve help me up with God❤️
I did it and my nerf gun still don't work any suggestions
Can you use Apple Cider vinegar instead of pure distilled vinegar?
dadduorp I need to know this as well that’s the only kind o have
I've tried it but it doesn't really work as well
Tyvm not just how to safely remove battery acid ,but the chemical compounding Difference between zinc and Alkaline batteries.I am worried about the acid on my skin I wear Hospital gloves .
Saved a furreal friend from oblivion! Thank you so much! Plus, I learned something new👍
Dr. Pepper and Coka Cola works for Car Batteries can they also work for AAs?
Coke and Dr P are acidic, so they would for alkalines!
justajolt thanks man
My battery in the baby alive real surprises baby exploaded with BLACK INK and the spring broke can u pls Make a video
It's always Duracells that leak the most.
Definetely.I had an 12 year old battery in something and 2 year old duracell in something else.The 2 year old duracell leaked while nothing happened to 12 year old battery
You saved my rapidstrike
Ayy mate! Now I don’t need to buy a new drone remote!
Golpheox Same reason I'm here as well.
Thank you so much brother you saved my NERF gun
I watched at least 3 videos thinking my hail fire (That i havent used in a year at the time of this comment) was about to sell had battery corrosion, when i open it up, miraculously nothing was wrong with it and all the batterys are dead
THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!
thank u i fixed my mouse because of u
You're welcom Janessa! If I can spread some fixing joy around each day, I'm a happy jot ^_^
Cool nice on jolt
Wonder what happens if you put IMRs in acid...
justajolt 🤔🤔
thank you!!!
Hasbro WISHED they tho-- oh wait...
I've never seen Hasbro selling little pots full of acid to put batteries in!
u need a new camera
this one dont focous
I got a new camera ^_^ Now it's just me that needs to focus!
yay! i don't need to buy a knew remote!
Demitrx new*
Weather remedy
Happy to have helped ^_^
justajolt i found a barricade rv 10 and fixed it thatnks
I could hear the fizzing
it worked tks
The vinegar made it more rusty! 😠
SCIENCE!
I used baking soda
Calm down! You are not commenting a horse race, crickey!
Can't calm down. Too many SMARTIES!!11!!
i got it on my furby
Is since 2 years
