The battery compartment of an electronic device with extreme case of alkaline battery corrosion (LR6/AA/15A).

---

This device had been left unused in a cupboard for many years (10+ years). Corrosion on the terminals is due to hydrogen gas being released from the acid in the battery. It mixes with other things in the atmosphere under the hood and produces the corrosion you see on the terminals.
