mini: I have a mini-mag flashlight. The AA batteries are corroued and stuck in the cylinder. How can I remove them without damaging the flashlightHow do you remove rusted batteries from the main cylinder in a magnalite mini flashlight?Most batteries actually come with a guarantee (read the fine print on the back of the package). Call the 800 number for the brand you used and ask them to replace your flashlight. You might have to send it to them, but since it's already dead, you need minimum protection for the shipping. If you're nice, and explain that the shipping is close to the original cost, you might be able to talk them into just replacing it without you send the damaged one. You should be able to get a new one, plus batteries, for less that the cost of the original. It won't die from unseen corrosion in the future, either...How do you remove rusted batteries from the main cylinder in a magnalite mini flashlight?Open the cap and put inside brake fluid or vinegar.Then wash it with water and soap.Use sandpaper to clean the contacts! good luck!
