Amiga 500+ leaking battery and other issues/questions

[scuzzb494]

I've removed dozens and dozens of batteries from all kinds of machines and always use vinegar. It basically cleans up the board and removes all the battery flakes and goo. I then neutralise with Andrews or baking soda. I do dilute the vinegar a little. I dry off with cotton buds and maybe apply a mild heat if I'm in a rush. Never had a problem and all my computers still work no problem
