Hello,
I maybe throbbing an old horse here...but...
I keep a ARC AAA-P in a pouch with a leatherman, small monocular, lighter, spare cash, spare car key, small change, pen/pencil, stuff like that...little things that can make a difference...(had to use that stuff once in a near, well...)
The ARC is having a problem with "cooking", I'm not sure if it happens to be battery related or whatever, but (it's not exactly stored in direct sunlight, it might get 100F inside the car where it's occasionally left, but it's not in direct light) everytime open it up to change the battery there's a small release in pressure...I bet it's hydrogen gas. Today I opened it up and was greeted by a generous helping of black corrosion on the inside. I am wondering if this is a problem with ARCs in the heat or is it the batteries?
Right now it's soaking in 99% alchohol to hopefully make easier to get the corrosion out. Perhaps, Peter could give some insight into all this?
