Mini Maglite AA: How do I remove corroded batteries?

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 22:47:01 -0700

The batteries are very corroded. So much that I have not been able to unscrew the end piece at the led end of the body.

I did what you said but when I removed the disc there is another

black plastic device that looks like it has to come out the other end because there is a lip holding it in place

Mini Maglite AA: Using the torch head and bub (LED replacement) in a project

Wed, 13 Mar 2019 08:24:18 -0700

Hi, I’m working on a sculpture which I started almost 2 decades ago. It fits a mini maglite torch. For exhibition purposes I’d now like to use the head, the bulb (an LED replacement from eBay) and add a resistor (and wire to a transformer).

Can you tell me how to go about dismantling the body/battery enclosure? The end of that has the two pin socket to take the bulb and must have contacts and I’m guessing a resistor under the cap which I’d like to use. I’m worried to leaver the cap off since it might just snap. Which is the best way in?

All my best,

Thanks, Tom
