I was going to put new batteries in this light that I haven't used in awhile, and the old batteries leaked their acid all over inside, stopping the metal from connecting with the batteries. How do I clean out the acid without ruining my light?

It also appears that when I took out the batteries, I lost one of the springs that hold them in--are they necessary for the light to work?

Well...Baking soda will neutralize the acid and then you will have to scrape it off and if you lost a "Spring" you can put a piece of aluminum foil in it's place to secure the batteries in place. good luck!

u would have the flexibility to purpose some scouse borrow wool yet your most suitable guess is probably to throw the tape recorder away they arent that stressful to regulate. battery acid isn't some situation to play round with even in small parts

Sorry buy a new light, if the metal has gone that far, forget about it.
