Default Re: Remove those batteries when out of use!

I have a Maglite AA torch fitted with a LED conversion and end cap on/off switch. I always put top quality batteries in it. One of these leaked and damaged the switch. After a couple of calls to the battery manufacturer they sent me the cost of a new conversion kit, the switch is not available on its own.
leaking batteries can happen to even the best manufacturers.

Forgot to mention that the use by date of the batteries was 2018.
