Will not occur
In normal use there is no risk of leakage. If batteries are abused, this may lead to the
leaking of a caustic alkaline solution which will corrode aluminium and copper. The leak
material should be neutralised using a weak acidic solution such as vinegar, or washed away
with copious amounts of water.
