Hey guys,
I'm not sure if it's me being paranoid or whatnot. But recently i've gotten this residue like feeling on all of my lights. I haven't really had any batteries or anything leak. But sometimes when i open up the lithium lights or nimh lights after periods of use to charge there's a slight smell inside of the battery tube. Then when i touched the batteries to put them into the charger i noticed there was a slight residue from there. But i can't really see it and i'm positive that the batteries didn't leak or anything. However this is going on with all of my lights. Now when i touch the outside of all of my lights with my hand, i guess it's phycological ?(sp?) cause it's kind of hard to get that stuff over the entire outisde of the light. Then when i wash my hands i can't help but feel that the residue is stuck on there still.
I guess this all stems back to about a year ago when i had some CBP1650 cells leak on me and then when i touched the stuff and got it onto my hands the residue was stuck on there pretty good. Even after washing 15 times my hands felt really dry at the time but the residue was still there. Of course, it would've never gotten onto the lights that i own now because i didn't own these lights then.
Anyways... i tried washing the outside of my lights with soap and water. I can't help but think that the stuff is still there.
AM I BEING TOO PARANOID???
I dont want to be shaking hands with people, or me touching my arms or something and get that stuff all over when i'm in the shower or something.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone know anything about this?
