Getting the battery out.... >:-<

I thought the whole concept of a "dollar store" was that things didn't cost $3.
I have one of those flashlights. It uses no battery, but a 1 Farad capacitor. Not very bright, but would be nice to keep in the car for emergencies (no dead batteries).
And Motel 6 was supposed to cost $6/night. Then the war brought inflation... ;)
I thought it was $6.66
LOL -
Seems no one here has any better ideas than I how to do this... :)
It's just that nobody cares.
Find a concrete sidewalk. Take the back off the flashlight. Take the front off the flashlight. Remove the bulb. Slam the butt of the flashlight against the sidewalk until the batteries come out.
(Like a pile-driver, not like a bat)

Then throw it all in the garbage. (after slamming aluminum into concrete,the endcap will not thread on any more.At least you could suggest pounding it on a piece of WOOD)
Best to just send it to the battery manufacturer and have them replace it.
(I also would not use any "advise" from this guy,either!)
