One time, I was trying to clean some battery corrosion out of an old

coming out of there.I dropped the flashlight and I ran out of my
shed.That stuff is Dangerous!

Try white vinegar next time.
Even better to try and neutralize the acidic battery juice than vinegar,
an acid itself, would be to use dish washing detergent, a base.
Flashlight batteries are full of alkaline, not acid. That's why you use
acid to clean up when one leaks. Then you flush with water. Then a
little isopropyl alcohol to flush the ater away.
