Default Battery cleaning

I don't seem to have much of a problem with other batteries except for the pilots. If I mess up and overfill the carts, my batteries have a tendency to stop functioning. I am constantly trying to change my approach. I just wanted to post this for other people having pilot/m401/m402 battery issues where they just stop.

1. I know people have been saying to suck the juice out of the battery. That is gross. It works - but it's gross!

2. Someone posted about using a pipecleaner. I went to publix and got some real pipe related pipe cleaners from the tobacco section (not the crafts section). Somewhere someone advised dripping a little water into the battery (like two drops). I did this instead.

3. Wet one end of the pipe cleaner with water. Stick it in the hole in the battery and swish around.

4. Take the dry end of the pipe cleaner and swish it around in there to clean it out.

Then just blow on it (the pilot batteries are very sensitive) and it should light right back up.

Next, take the pipe cleaner and shove it up the little hole in the atomiser to soak up extra juice.

This has resurrected several batteries I have. I'm wondering what other people do?

I wonder if one of those gross-me-out booger-sucker-outer things used for baby noses would work...

Hey - not a bad idea! Sounds like a good way to give them a quick flush!

I use those with a boiling mixture of H2O vinegar and lemon juice to do a Soft clean every 2-3 nights.

Unhappy Problems with my 901 batteries

I have had four 901 batteries "die" on me with either a a switch that is to hard to start or never turns off it seems that the liquid gets in the switch and make it not work. Has anyone had any luck fixing this problem.

I also washed one in the washing machine it still works but the switch is too hard to draw off of.

I had a 901 batt sticking on. I used the shop vac with and adapter to suck on it. It's working OK now...
