Flashlight Battery Corrosion Fix?
All of us grab that seldom used flashlight and find that it glows feebly or not at all. Are there any cures (preventative maintenance) for this. I'm trying a couple of things right now but won't know ...

Surely you jest..
A flashlight with no batteries would be rather useless in a power outage or if you have a need for portable light in a hurry..
No, not jesting, but perhaps not clear.
A small LED flashlight and the needed 3 AA cells will all fit in the plastic drink mix container so the flashlight and batteries are stored in the same container, If the batteries start leaking you will see it through the translucent container and since many LED flashlights are wrapped in either plastic or synthetic rubber they can be rinsed off (Water proof too). There will be no chemical erosion of the contacts. Battery life = shelf life as well
You simply remove batteries and flashlight from plastic tube, insert batteries and operate. The idea is to store batteries and flashlight BESIDE each other. in the same container.
