Battery stuck in 3 AA battery Minimaglite
Well, other than banging the barrel on a piece of wood, does anyone have any OTHER way to get a battery out of a 3 AA minimaglite? This is a design flaw if you ask me, and I would NOT recommend these lights to anyone else, what good is it if you have to throw it away when the first set of batteries run out and are stuck in the barrel?

The battery has to make contact with the bulb as well as the end cap, so if you take the end cap off and the batteries don't come out that end I recommend pulling the bulb assembly apart and taking them out that end. And the next time you put batteries in coat the outside of them (not the terminals) with electrical grease (like you put on car batteries) to prevent them from sticking in there again. Note: if both ends are removed you can use something like a screw driver to push the batteries straight through and out the other end.
