If there is no sign of any leakage, it should pass 👍

	You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

And the testers judgment on recognizing the effects of 2 metals when it's connected to a battery

Unless it’s leaking electrolyte which is obvious to a tester then in my opinion a bit of powder round the terminals should just be brought to the presenter attention

No good to just “assume “ because powder is evident the battery has a “ leak”.

Advice to the op would be to clean the powder off using boiling water and apply some petroleum jelly on both terminals to prevent the build up again ( powder )
The tester has no grounds to fail it then .

I might not be the best,but i was always in the top one
