Flashlight problem

[Spaniel]

I have one of those hi density flashlights,  Fenix E25.     I went to remove the batteries and the top one came out ok but the other one is stuck.    From what I can see it is leaking a bit and that is what is holding it in.    Any suggestions on how to remove it?   I'm thinking spraying a little WD40 might do it.

Perhaps some instant glue on base of battery you removed and insert back in base first to attach to one inside and let set/pull out.  Just be careful to keep vertical as you put together to prevent glue moving to side of battery.  Should only take a tiny drop.  

 

If not long enough perhaps a pen barrel or some other round object - but with tit at entry should be able to remove battery with pliers or such I suspect.

Not familiar with that particular unit, but many of the maglite type torches unscrew at both ends enabling one to push out a stuck battery.

I can't see a bit of WD doing any harm, try it and leave it over night then if it pops out a good clean and bob's your uncle. I have also noticed unexplained battery leaks on the younglings toys and other battery operated items over here weather it's cheap battery's or the heat I don't know.

I think you are correct, as this illustration shows.

Turn it upside town and give it a swift tap on a piece of wood, mat on floor, or similar.

Some models do unscrew at both ends but this particular one doesn't.       When I buy it's replacement I'll certainly look for one that  unscrews at both ends!

While trying to come up with ideas to get the bad battery out, in the meantime stick it in an out of the way spot and set in down vertically, open side down and give gravity a try.  Of course, set it on something disposable, like newspaper on top of a plastic bag.  And mind getting that crap on your fingers.  Once the bad battery is out you'll have to contend with cleaning out the thing.

Gravity never sleeps
