    hello,

    when your batteries leak and your using a off board holder, do you have to replace that part or can you just clean it off and install new batteries?

    this is a WPC game.

    thanks

    mike

    I'd get a new holder. The stuff that leaks out is like cancer and you may never get rid of it. Why risk more problems later.

    Battery holders are cheap. Just replace the holder.

    And another trick, put the holder in a Zip Lock to contain the mess.
