    • Lightly dip a cotton swab in white vinegar or lemon juice.

    • Don't soak the cotton swab. Only use a small amount of liquid at a time.

    • Gently rub the battery terminals with the cotton swab to dissolve and remove the corrosion.

    • The corrosion may fizz and bubble. Don't worry, this is normal.

    • Continue this process until there's no corrosion on the terminals.

    • Gently rub the battery terminals with the cotton swap to remove any remaining residue from the previous step.

    • Wipe the residue away with a microfiber or lint-free cloth.
