battery goobers
How do I get battery goobers off a spring. I don't know if you call it corrosion or what but I think goobers covers it. The contact point is the spring.....

Scotchbrite or a stainless steel brush should work. It would also be best if you didn't pick your nose, when replaceing the batteries.

Still trying to figure out just what We're talking about here.....?
Are We discussing Battery Corrosion at the Terminals in a Vehicle?
If So...this Topic will be closed on the Ask the Experts and Moved to the General Discussion Forums...as It sure don't belong here on a Gun Topic Forum....

I am assuming you have a nail file?, take one of those cardboard ones, and bend a small piece of the edge to get it into place, be careful not to get any one it in your eyes 0 -

For a small spot hard to get to like a scope battery try baking soda mixed with a little water on a Q tip. then dry very good or air dry for a day. That will make the goobers go away...............and sometime those goobers come in different colors too

misskelly, after you have followed yachtdave's suggestion to remove the worst of the blight, hie thee to Home Depot or the like, acquire thee some crocus cloth, abrasive screening or such to create a final sparkling clean contact surface. This is flexible and can be manipulated well in limited spaces by those with smaller fingers / superior coordination (i.e., the female of the species [;)]). Cleaning the back side of the spring is a good idea, because the crud will migrate over time if you leave it in there, which is the reason for the cloth. You can mount small bits of abrasive cloth on unsharpened pencils or other small diameter objects (e.g., head of a nail . . . depends on how deep you must go) with various glues to clean the face of the contact. I have some other suggestions as well if you need further assistance. Good luck!
