Damn! Now it has happened to my own Roland Mobile Cube .... the battery compartment is dripping wet with acid from Energiser batteries this evening! The amp was playing up so I swapped to 6 x new batteries, then it stopped altogether! Pulling the 2nd lot of batteries out .... they were dripping wet!
I now read on the Energiser website that they will replace damaged items from ‘their’ leaking batteries .... so I need to go back and retrieve the 12 batteries that I threw away at our practise venue this evening .... I just hope the bin hasnt been emptied when I go there in the morning, as they need the batteries AND the amp to check them out!

There are at least 15 screws on the back of the amp - and I removed 7 of them, without being able to remove the back and access the battery compartment ..... so put them back.
Would Wurth Contact Spray help if I sprayed some onto the 4 ‘contacts’ ? Is there any way to neutralise the acid before it totally stuffs the whole amp?
I will definitely look at Coolforcats99’s external powerpack idea for any other mobile amps! Grrrr
