Cleaning UPS battery leakage

Jul 14, 2005 2 Replies

Probably an easy question. I have a UPS which suffered battery leakage. The resulting leakage seems to be "crystallization" underneath the batteries (which I have not removed yet). What is the safest way of cleaning this up once the batteries have been removed?

I finally got around to cleaning up this unit, and this did in fact work well. You can hear the 'sizzle' as the baking soda neutralizes the acid. I kept wiping until I couldn't hear sizzle anymore, then wiped it dry and let it sit for awhile. Thanks!
