Atty leak cuz bad battery?

[pandatera]

Hi,
I'm using a Riva 510 manual batteries. I notice once in awhile especially when I drip to test flavors, I will lose connection on the battery. Led on the battery lits up, but nothing happens to the atty. After cleaning the battery threaded end with alcohol numerous of times, then it will fire up the atty again. I don't think I flooded the atty, I only dripped 2 tiny drops to test flavors. Well I'm trying to find out if the atty does get flooded will it effect the manual battery to not to fire up the atty? Could there be something wrong w/ the battery?

Thanks
Lai

Most likely the center pin on the atty is recessed a little. Pry it up just a little and it should work. When looking at atty sideway the center section should be slightly above the threaded portion.
