you mean corrode or actually leaking out material like batteries sometimes do?
if you are losing the material inside, then toss them.  if they rust, you can
get a scotchbrite and buff the rust off.

also there's different types of batteries.  lithium is dangerous shit. don't
risk anything with lithium batteries. i had a battery that i suspected was lower
capacity and had a fake label over it.  i used an xacto blade to get the label
off to see the real one under. I knicked that fucker somehow and it ignited. I
had to put it in a bucket with dirt to cut off the oxygen.
