    Vinegar (Acetic Acid) does not neutralise any acids at all.

    It does however, neutralise the caustic, alkaline contents of a non-rechargeable alkaline cell (potassium hydroxide).

    I believe the comment you are replying to meant to say corrosion not acid.

    This is some sort of electrochemistry, more complex than just acid/base
