Well, I had finally bought a Fenix TK20 (last one from Optic Planet - thanks guys), and had Kirkland batteries running in there, Costco's brand.
Well, the light was dimming rather quickly, so I decided to put in a new set of batteries. Well, lo and behold, the tail cap was really hard to screw off. I didn't think I had screwed it on that tight. Well, anyway, when I finally got it off, the last battery had been leaking!!
Questions:
What is the best way to get the acid off? It is mostly on the tail end of the tube, on the inside and on the lip, AND there is a little bit on the INSIDE of the tailcap.
If I leave it on, will it affect the performance of the light?
Thanks for any help & info.
