Cleaning battery leak deposits from a keyboard


At your risk. Take all safety precautions. Gloves etc. Common sense.
Worst case scenario may be Ni-Cd batteries as Cd has radioactive isotopes. Make sure you read everything before deciding what to not or not to do.


Today, yesterday a heavily (alkaline) battery leaked Yamaha PSS-480 FM keyboard synth had been cleaned. Plastic surfaces had been almost painted with rust. It was eventually cleaned with methylated spirit and cotton buds.
