Corroded battery terminal cleaning
Hi, I have a great cordless screwdriver, but the contact terminal has some greenish stuff on it which I am assuming is corrosion, I was wondering how to clean battery corrosion if possible? I've hardly used this tool, and would like to keep it. Is there a way to save it? Thanks!

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Oct 15, 2015The green is just some corrosion and nothing to worry about. If it is a power tool just use a toothbrush or rag to wipe off the green. You may want to take out the battery when not in use. Do not get the terminals wet on power tools.Helpful Reply
