GolfVenture Posted March 15, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2014 Need suggestions on how to get this AA battery out. I tried pounding the leg on a hard surface, thinking that gravity would work it down. I tried baking soda water solution thinking that would loosen it up. I tried a magnetic pick up. Did not work. There is not hole here I can push a stick down to push it out. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TATERS Posted March 15, 2014 Share #3 Posted March 15, 2014 Put the flashlight in the freezer for an hour....the battery will drop out easily after an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncledj Posted March 15, 2014 Share #5 Posted March 15, 2014 I think I'd try running a drywall screw into it, and pulling it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowpuc Posted March 15, 2014 Share #7 Posted March 15, 2014 I think I'd try running a drywall screw into it, and pulling it out. I'm with Unc,, I would drill a small hole in the end of the battery just big enough for the tip of a screw to start into and screw the screw in,, it will probably come out with just the screw tighting as your turning it,, if it dont - grab the end of the screw with some pliers and yank it outta dare!!!

Flyinfool Posted March 15, 2014 Share #11 Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Won't the oven melt the plastic? You don't need to put the oven on its highest setting......... start by putting it in the freezer over night, that will make everything shrink. then use a heat gun or hair drier to heat the outer tube, this will cause it to expand, and the cold battery will still be shrunk from the freezer. If this does not work, then you will need more violent methods. Is the stuck battery sliding up and down but just wont get past the lip, or is it not moving at all and stuck at the bottom? Each of those legs holds 3 cells, did the other 2 already come out? If all else fails, an adequate amount of high explosives can make any problem go away.....

JohnT Posted March 15, 2014 Share #12 Posted March 15, 2014 Uhhh, throw it out and buy a new one??? That was my third thought. Behind the freezer and then the drill and screw idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted March 15, 2014 Share #15 Posted March 15, 2014 Another option to try. get a wood dowel just a bit smaller than the battery. Put a blob of JB Weld on the end and drop it on top of the battery. Let it cure for a good 24 hours. Pull the whole works back out. Be careful to NOT glue the whole works to the side of the tube.

icebrrg3rd Posted March 31, 2014 Share #19 Posted March 31, 2014 Give it to a little kid, they will swing it around like crazy and the battery will sail out of there in no time, altho the battery will now be embedded in your 60" flat panel TV... -Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacheedah Posted March 31, 2014 Share #20 Posted March 31, 2014 im sure it's full of coorosion from battery leakage. Try dropping it in some white white vinegar over night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayceesfolly Posted April 1, 2014 Share #22 Posted April 1, 2014 Measure the depth of the battery, and add the length of the battery to this dimension and then add a small amount to this and drill a hole in the side of the case just aft of the battery. Stick a small screwdriver or rod in the hole and try to pry it out or at least move it. Once you get it started then you can reseal the hole with RTV. Insert a screw in the end of the battery and have someone pull on the screw while you pry thru the hole. Pushing and pulling at the same time. I did this with a Maglite one time and it worked OK.
