Battery corrosion

Any tricks to removing battery corrosion without getting the battery out? I was gonna hook up a tickle charging port to the escape so I took off the cover to look at the battery to see how hard. It’s got a fair bit of corrosion. I would rather not take it out and clean it properly if there is a spray or something I can just spray on it for now.

Any tricks?

Vinegar is what I have always used.

Ammonia or Windex will work too.

I'd take it out so you can properly evaluate any damage and mitigate it.

I’m gonna swap it before winter as it looks original and I don’t trust batteries 5/6yrs old.
