This corrosion of the battery connectors is inevitable in Woodstocks, because HP chose to use silver as a contact material instead of nickel or gold plating (like everybody else - and even HP in every other series of calculators). As we all know from our cutlery, silver oxidises in (moist) air no matter what one tries to prevent that.
