 Howdy,,,Here's hoping someone can help with a small Oh- oh,,,,
 I have one of the 4 battery Maglites that took a dive and started growing some grayish gookies around the batteries and just do not want to vacate the inside of flashilight,,,,,!!!
 I scraped most of the gookies out but still cannot get batteries to move to try to remove them,,,,

Joe, Im sure someone will come along with some good advice. I had three of them, and had trouble with all of them. Fantastic when they were new, but, even though I changed batteries regularly, whether they needed or not. still got corrosion, and broken switches. 
I gave up on them.
I am still confident of this;
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27

I'd say a slide hammer with a screw on the tip, drill a pilot hole in the battery, screw in the slide hammer and yank away.  Don't do like my brother did he was too cheap to buy a drill bit long enough (stuck battery was down 2 or 3 in the stack) to reach the stuck battery, and sized for the screw in the SH...Wink
