Is there a way to prevent batteries from corroding/exploding in my trusty mags? Every time I leave my mag lite "loaded" in my car for any length of time, then try to change the batts out, they're corroded in there! Is there any way to prevent this other than keeping the batts stored outside of the lite???

Two things-- 1) You must never mix batteries in a flashlight. That means they all must be the same brand and you must not mix partly used batteries with new ones. If you do, they will corrode and eat the inside of the light. 2) Once a flashlight has had corrosion inside of it every set of batteries will corrode it further until eventually you can't get them out and have to pitch the light. I'd suggest a new light and new batteries from the same pack each time they are replaced.  Oh, since I won a Surefire E2e at the last Gunstock, I rarely use my Mag lights any more (Minis and 4-cells). <shrug> |
I've seen many a methampibian use them for dildos....

HUMMMM? Nope not going there... |
Less time in the apple muffin container, more time for thinking, bro

Pssst--that won't help. Alkaline batteries don't have acid in them like the old kind of batteries did. |
Them muffins were damn good!
