Does anyone have tips for getting corroded batteries out of flashlights? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I imagine a lot of flashlight enthusiasts have death with this. I've found it's less an issue with D cell batteries and more AA and AAA.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if there was a lot of commonly known procedures for this. I might grab a vice and drill out the battery if that is the case.

Other people suggested stuff like vinegar and baking soda, which sounded useless. If you use a vise, obvs wrap the light first. Let us know how it goes.
