Battery Corrosion - How can I remove it?

I have had a couple of electronic items that won't work because batteries corroded in them. Is there a way to fix this?

ETA: the coke thing always seemed impractical to me
If you take a metal object like a key or pocket knife and connect the two poles it will usually burn the corrosion right off

Mix baking soda and water, pour over the corrosion, then rub gently with sand paper.

Real answer. Put some baking soda in a cup, add a little water, enough to make it like paste, then use a brush to apply. Eats away the corrosion.

Baking soda and water.

Don’t use coke. The idea is that the carbonic acid removes the oxides, but soda water accomplishes the same thing without making your shite all sticky.
Alternatively, pick up a can of DeoxIT contact cleaner at the hardware store. Use the D5 formulation on anything that’s just metal and the D100 formulation if it’s going anywhere near a PCB board.
ETA: Soda water is way easier than making paste with baking soda. Problem is, it gets your shite all wet.
Seriously, get a can of DeoxIT. That stuff kicks arse and is very handy to have around when you need it.

Old toothbrush and rubbing alcohol have always worked for me.
