How to clean a corroded camera battery chamber
Photographers should not store camera equipment such as a flash or compact camera long-term with batteries left in the chamber. Over time, these batteries can leak. Leaking batteries can corrode the terminals, or contacts, within the battery chamber and prevent batteries from making contact with the terminals. When camera batteries cannot contact the terminals, the camera will no longer function. In order to restore function to your camera equipment, you must clean corroded battery chamber contacts.
Instructions
Things You'll Need
- Pencil with eraser
- Cotton swab
- Toothbrush
- Vinegar
- Emery board
- Canned air
1.
-
- 1
Rub battery contact points with a clean pencil eraser. The clean eraser will pick up corrosion from the contact points. The contact points are raised metal surfaces or springs located on the bottom of the battery chamber and on the battery chamber cover.
-
- 2
Dip a cotton swab or toothbrush in vinegar and swab away any corrosion that remains on the contact points. Alkaline batteries contain an alkaline, not acid. Because vinegar is a mild acid, it counteracts the alkaline.
-
- 3
Swab the walls and door of the battery chamber if battery fluid has leaked anywhere else in the chamber. Corrosion due to battery fluid has the appearance of a white crust.
-
- 4
Gently sand the contacts with the tip of an emery board if a new battery will still not power the camera. Sanding the contacts will loosen any remaining corrosion. Swab and clean with vinegar again.
-
- 5
Blow debris from the chamber and dry any vinegar residue with canned air before finally replacing the battery and using the camera.
You can try yourself with sony camera battery or canon camera battery or others.
Tips & Warnings
- If your batteries are acid rather than alkaline, use a solution of baking soda dipped in water to neutralize the acid. Identify alkaline batteries by reading the battery label.
- Do not store batteries in a camera for long periods of time. Batteries are prone to leaking after their expiration date.
