Oops. 

Well, you can try to clean off those battery terminals with baking soda and vinegar.  At least yours doesn't look as bad as the 187 I bought.

That leakage probably happened long before you bought the unit.  I'll still take it for $120 as the damage looks, on the photos, to be minimal, at least compared to mine 187.

If you had checked at the store, you might have gotten the 287 for $100 USD?

You still got an incredible deal IMHO.  ;D

The terminals aren't bad, and can be cleaned. Or you could change them out if you prefer.  :P

That looks so nasty  :-\, btw, I can see that thread was created last year, how is it now ? After cleaning, did you apply anything to that exposed metal, maybe like grease or something to coat the exposed metal ?

Yeah, must be started for a while, but hey, when the bargaining with the store manager was reaching like < $150, I was like saying to my self to stop being too greedy, and no further hard bargaining, was worry he might stopped the offering at all.  >:D

Yeah, the nickel coating is not heavily affected yet, its now cleaned and coated thinly with dielectric grease using cotton bud at the non contact area.
