[Shop-talk] How to remove corroded batteries from an Aluminum case

[J.C. Hassall]

We found the long-AWOL Maglite, only to find that the alkaline batteries 
went TU a looooong time ago and are badly corroded into the case.  I've 
picked away as much loose corrosion as possible, but those babies seem 
to be welded in there.  What's a good way to extricate the batteries?  I 
suspect it'll require a chemical solution, as I ran a couple of sheet 
metal screws into the rear battery case and tried to pull, no joy.
