Isn't drilling the battery dangerous? I thought they had corrosive liquid inside, like you see when they leak.

If drilling is OK, why not try to use a thin corkscrew, like you'd do with a bottle?

I remember seeing a video where you threw a small lirhium battery in water and it would explode. Could this happen if you use that water+freezer trick?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNMfe20I_IE

If you're suffering from leakage it's 99% likely that it's an alkaline cell, which should be far more stable than the internals of a lithium, though if the battery has leaked then the contents are already exposed to the moisture in the air. For this reason metals like lithium are store in oil for use in chemistry lessons.

You could try soaking it in something like vinegar?

I guess I could. :think:  I did that a while back when there was more battery there.

Try filling it with vinegar and leaving it for a couple days, I'd be surprised if that didn't shift it and give your light a lovely free aroma  :whistle:

It might be worth emptying and re-filling with fresh vinegar a few times for maximum effectiveness.

I soaked it in vinegar for about three hours then tried sticking a small drill bit down one side... SUCCESS!
I was able to pull it out.



So what I could see previously was the bottom of the battery.

In the bottom of the flashlight body I can see the spring along with some other gunk. It's soaking in white vinegar again...

Glad it worked  :tu:

If you let the insides soak for a while you should be able to knock out the remaining residue with a toothpick

Probably a stupid suggestion because I'm missing something... as usually  :P

But with the LD20 you can un-screw both ends to only have the battery tube, right?

Can you do that and try to push out the remains of that battery?  :dunno:

Update (final) for the light: I had mistyped, it was a LD02, so only two pieces, the head and the body.  I took a look at it today and the battery had completely vented; I tossed it, though have the head and pocket clip, for what it's worth.  Thank you again everyone for their suggestions and help with the light.
