I didn't see a stupid question thread, but I have a stupid question. I need to get the battery cover off of this maglite (the part circled in red). Only problem is, it's stuck on there good. I've tried spraying it with the bottles in the pic, but they aren't showing any results. Are there any other methods I could try?

Put rubber or something on it and use pliers

To pairs of Channellocks and some rubber or tick cloth as suggested.
If its caused by a swollen/ruptured battery you might want to forget it. Because Mags aren't completely open at the other end its almost impossible to get bad batteries out of them without using a heat gun. Using a heat gun is risky. Considering I see them for sale at thrift stores and yard sales for under $10 all the time it might not be worth your effort. Yeah, they are great flashlights and an old Mag is just as good as a new one. Hence, I always get them used.

Thanks for the advice. Tried it with some pliers over cloth and got it off. Looks pretty good on the inside as well, no real corrosion.
