Re: Best way to clean a device with a corodid battery?
Take it apart and wash everything in plenty of lurke warm water and a little detergent. When done wash with alcohol that will get rid of the water and dry clean. A cotton bud and more alcohol may aid in rincing the contact spots under the ruber membrane.
The main thing is plenty of water to neutralise the Alkalide!

first you need to tell us what type of battery leaked. heavy duty spit acid while alkaline batteries leak base fluids, if it is alkaline
you can sparingly use some vinegar on the alkaline deposits be sure and rinse it off with water after you are done as the acid not only neutralizes the alkaline but can damage things if left on for too long.

Steam wand of a espresso machine and a dry towel will clean anything.

How about a mixture of baking soda and water?
I used to use that when I was servicing scuba equipment. We would soak the regulators in a watered down solution of acid and water to remove the salt deposits. The soak in baking soda and water to neutralize the acid.
But I don't know what kinds of acid are in batteries.

Some batteries contain acid, but alkaline batteries contain alkali.

Worldwide, we are tending toward less freedom. In my grandfathers day they regularly bought dynamite for the farm and took their rifles to school to shoot game for dinner on the way home. Not too many school shootings back then. Not too many terrorist bombings either. People were more free (maybe to a fault) but they watched each others backs.
