Suck in on the battery hole and wack it hard down on a table---if that dos not work --call it a day------Sun
While I know your advice is correct and does work, there's something in the wording that just made

Oldeerthandirt--that verbage has been used here for as long as I can remember and there really is no other way to state it--so take it for what it is worth--ADVISE------Sun
Ooops. Hope there wasn't a disconnect there sun, Just sayin it made me chuckle....
They All Got In The Wrong Order, Its:
Blow, Suck and Then Tap!
Repeat Until Done!
~Keep Vapin~
Before you throw it away, use the pipe attached and shoot some WD-40 into it, do the blow/suck/blow/suck a few times and see if it comes back I have saved a few of my wife's batts that way. Wipe it off well before doing this, though, and the batt will taste funny for a bit...let it sit overnight before using (let the excess evap).
Worth a try, huh?

I have to agree with the smuck fog person, convert them into manual switch USB pass-throughs or chuck them. I have completely stopped using batteries (except for the Kissbox batteries which are completely enclosed), because they are prone to early failure.
Otherwise Radio Shack has a spray cleaner/lubricant for electronic tuners. You spray it on, shake out the excess and let it air dry. I've used it before on tuners and volume controls.
Another thing, I recall previous threads where folks straighten a paper clip and gently inserted into the battery hole to it to free the switch.

Um..alcohol (not pure...95% is the best you'll get) conducts electricity, doesn't it? How do you prevent a dead short of the battery?
Oops..I just ran an experiment. Through about 1/2" of 90% Isopropyl alcohol, it was 6.8 meg ohms...Not a problem....Never mind.
I possess no technical ability to make one fortunately. However, if it's a very simplistic task I can have my friend teach me how to solder and get one done. I've watched video tutorials. Looks fairly simple
Anybody out there as n00b as me and accomplished this?
I like the isopropyle alcohol idea because I'll actually get the crap out. Anybody got a dead battery that wants to make a how to video? I'm sure one of you guys have a dead battery around and how many people would bennifit from this would be astounding.
I can do it on my own but I think it would be a good move at saving people a lot of money
If you ever take apart one of these batteries as I have many times--you will find that the wheel switch is in a housing--if you try to stick something up the battery hole you may get a result by hitting on the housing and possibly unfreezing the switch--as for washing the inside out, that simply will not work as the water/alcohol will have a real problem getting in there and if it does--it is not going to come out of the housing very easily---these batteries really are junk compared to what they could be---Sun
I didn't own a soldering iron,solder,a multimeter or anything else pertaining to working on electrical stuff,I watched Nicowolf's videos and followed her advice and have built a couple of battery box mods that work unbelievably well.
I built a 3 x AA box that has a battery charge life of well over 60 hours of straight and heavy vaping!!!
Posted here pertaining to cleaning batteries and their evil switches,I had a little luck with swishing the connector end in Iso alc. and tapping them on a hard surface...THEN standing them on end outside on a steel plate in the sun (Southern Cali.) to dry out,
We had a few days where It's been in the upper 80's during the past few weeks.
However they seem to start sticking again after just a couple of days.
I tried the spray ( electronic cleaner ) and it killed 2 batteries. I would not recommend it.
