    Duracell Leaked in My AAA Maratac - How to Save It - Need New Casing?

    OK, some new events. I realized that in my Maratac AA there's also a leak, but this time battery chewed up the metal and made a hole. Light still works but is it safe to use like that? And more stuff, like this is not enough, while trying to clean out the leaked substance I smeared a bit on my...

    Duracell Leaked in My AAA Maratac - How to Save It - Need New Casing?

    Did it a few hours ago with no luck. It goes in but I can't pull it out. That is how much the battery metal has welded to the wall.

    Maybe this will be a wrong thread to ask for this but here it goes. Is there anybody that has the lower part (battery casing) of the Maratac AAA Black to sell? Battery leaked in mine and completely ruined it.

    Thanks, I did! The only issue with sending the light to them is that I'm overseas and I can't imagine how much would the international shipping be.

    Duracell Leaked in My AAA Maratac - How to Save It - Need New Casing?

    Title says it all. I spent 4 hours trying to remove the battery from the casing but it seams like it's welded inside. I've tried everything beside using a drill which will ruin the flashlight. I would hate to say goodbye to the flashlight because meat and potatoes of the flashlight is the head...

    Solar Charger for Eneloop MQR06 Battery Charger?

    Thank you guys for all the answers. I like the option of having the Goal Zero solar charger because it makes everything simpler. Cottonpicker's panels are fine but I yet have to understand some logic and standards behind using such custom stuff. I'll revive this thread after I learn some more...

    Solar Charger for Eneloop MQR06 Battery Charger?

    Hi everyone, to begin with, I'm not an expert on electricity, so bear with me here. I'm constantly on the field and using AA Eneloop batteries. And while I have enough AAs to last me a few days I do spend weeks sometimes without a power source to charge them. Carrying 50 something AAs is an...
