Most batteries seem to leak an alkaline substance so acid will
neutralize it. Why Muriatic Acid? While there may be better things
around, I used to own a printed circuit shop and that was what we used
to clean up the solder plated boards without damaging them or leaving
some other residue on the boards. What happens if you don't neutralize
any remaining residue from the batteries? You may find the board
failing at some time in the future.
