No matter why they leak, batteries release potassium chloride when they do. Potassium hydroxide can cause chemical burns and other health problems if exposed to the skin, mouth, or eyes. Toxicity is also a concern if potassium hydroxide is ingested. It can also cause damage to any electronic device the battery was in when it leaked, which is why you should always remove the battery before storing any battery-operated devices.
Chemical Burns
Potassium hydroxide can cause mild to severe chemical burns if it contacts bare skin
Potassium hydroxide from a leaking battery may cause poisoning if ingested or inhaled. Poisoning symptoms include severe abdominal pain, breathing difficulties, diarrhea, and a rapid drop in blood pressure, to name a few.
