Stun gun battery issue

[Katie]

I have an old stun gun that doesn't have a name on it from who made it and I have had it so long I don't remember where I got it from. I put it away and forgot about it until I came across it the other day. When I tried it out it didn't work so I went to check the batteries and it appears they sort of exploded and there is acid all over the inside. I cleaned it the best I could and put in new batteries but it still doesn't work...any ideas?

The best you can do is clean off the metal leads that the battery sits up against with some sandpaper. then replace the batteries and try again. If it doesn't work I wouldn't spend much time on it, stun guns are cheap these days.
