( best to take the battery's out The battery acid seems to eat in to the plastic. Nasty stuff, I had to take mine apart to remove two rotten batteries (who knows how old they are) which had rusted to the terminals, maybe Union Carbide would like to send me a new Creme Lure generator. Make sure you clean all the rust off from the terminals as at this low voltage corrosion makes a lot of difference (create resistance). The plastic on these seems to have aged badly on all of these generators I've seen. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

factory 487 #54 Posted July 26, 2020 Those are old ones, just don't know how old and if you have anything you value but don't use very often don't leave the batteries in it, most brands seem to leak these days, the well known black & copper colour* ones & no-name cheapo batteries are the worst offenders in the UK in my opinion. *I've seen these leaking still sealed in the packaging.
