Recapping Mac II rev B board. Board not hooked up to anything. Removing both axial batteries. The B2 pads sparked occasionally when I applied flux and the iron with or without wick to remove the battery. The battery was corroded. I got the battery off with minimal sparking thankfully.
Is this normal? Is my startup circuit ruined? Or is this due to the corrosion & if I clean the corrosion out, putting the new axial battery on will be safe and non-sparky?
