mag flashlights

Great advice, Brighty, thanks. Unfortunately, some folks won't know their light is buggered until they need it. It's a good idea to check them a couple times a year!

From time to time it's always a good idea to remove the [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/batteries.html]batteries[/link] from your maglite [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/flashlights.html]flashlight[/link]. I neglected this and ruined both a five cell and six cell D size maglite. The [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/batteries.html]battery[/link] electrolite leaked all over the inside and I could only remove one or two size D cells. The others were stuck inside with the leaky goo!
Kind of like changing your oil in the car. Just remove the [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/batteries.html]batteries[/link] from time to time and check each cell for any signs of electrolyte leakage. If you find some, discard the cell and clean the inside of your maglite with a mild solvent. This will insure a very long service life of your [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/flashlights.html]flashlight[/link].
