I’ve had that happen a few times and only with Duracell batteries that were not left in the light for a long term just not used for a short while. I’ve left some of the other popular brands in my mini mag lites for long terms and never had that problem. In addition, I’ve had the same problem using Duracell batteries in flashlights by other manufacturers and for this reason I stopped using their batteries.

Good video, if you’re someone that cares about your rims, you need to do this before taking it into the tire shop to have tires replaced because they are going to scrape up the rims. They will not take their time at most places. Especially black rims, which will expose the metal color underneath.

Good informative video. I had this happen with my Nebo light, the acid did some damage but I was able to save it. I don't use Alkaline batteries in anything I don't use regularly, for things that will sit for a while, I put energizer ultimate lithium batteries in them, they cost more but their shelf life is 20 years and they won't leak.

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep it in mind in the future. Lithium may cost more but like you say they won't leak and cause damage.

I bought a 458 Ferrari. The dealer had an extra Ferrari Maglite and put it in the glove box. That light is a rare commodity, so when my batteries got stuck, I really wanted to fix it. What a coincidence that you actually ran across one of these lights and posted this video. It's a small world. Have fun, go fast.

Wow! that's pretty much exactly the same as happened with my F430. The dealer has one in his desk and gave it to me when I bought the car, but unfortunately it leaked and hence the video. I'd recommend leaving the batteries out just in case. Thanks for sharing your story and enjoy the 458, they're a beautiful car 👍

I had terrible leaks on the same sides of my 2006 PT Cruiser. The rain was coming in from both front windows with heavy rain, where the top met the windshield. I watched this video and did exactly what he recomended. My hat off to you - no more leaks. I just went through 2 major hurricanes and both leaks have stopped. Thank you !

Is it okay to leave the masking tape on 24 hours after paint before decal and clear coat application or remove when tacky and re apply masking tape for clear coat process? Hope this makes sense
@MySupercarLife
@MySupercarLife 4 ай бұрын
I would remove it so that it doesn't crack any of the paint when it's fully cured in 24 hours. You'll run the risk of damaging the paint surface if you try to remove it when the paint is dry.

You don't need to, I used it to seal the decal in so that it didn't discolour or peel off. If you're just painting them then you don't need the clear coat

I had two such devices. The first one refused to work. So I got an exchange. The second one I measured thoroughly and I also took it apart. The inside is 3 LiPo cells of 3.7V/5.5Ah in series. So there´s no way this unit can deliver 18Ah.

I must be really thick, I'm still bamboozled. Bought some Optimum No Rinse from the US. The bottle says 1 OZ (product) : 2 Gallons (Water). Does anyone know the UK equivalent dilution ratio? I made it 250:1 but I'm not sure?!
@MySupercarLife
@MySupercarLife 5 ай бұрын
2 gallons is 7.57 litres 1 US floz is 29.5ml So if you have a 7 litre bucket you'd add about 30ml of Optimum. Most detailing buckets are 20 litres so if you 3/4 fill it then add 60ml of product you should be fine. You don't really need the ratio as you have the actual amounts of products, you just need to convert it to a measurement you're used to, in this case Millilitres and Litres. Hope this helps

You could try one of those small suction cups (they use bigger ones for fitting windscreens and lifting metal sheets) otherwise probably just do it the old fashioned way and take the wheels off.

I've two of the much larger black MagLites - I believe that they each hold 4 D size batteries. Both have been transformed from flashlights into clubs because the batteries have swollen, and it is impossible to remove the end caps.

It turned out to be a sticking clutch release bearing that managed to burn out a clutch with 80% life left in 800 miles. I ended up with a gearbox fault, which then turned in to having the clutch, flywheel, and some other parts replaced, then 2 days later the rear main seal started leaking so it all had to come back out again (luckily the seal was done under warranty). It turned out to be a very expensive problem that was never picked up when the car went in for a service a couple of months before. I sold the car not long after this.
