pug is right rs lot of divers feel that the gold plated connectors G is so proud of are the crappiest thing about the gavin even though they seem to work ok gold sounds impressivo but they are really made for hooking up stereos not conducting 30 amps the master-car ones submerged uses are...

have you made every effort to get one out of aul even if not for free maybe they might be willing to sell you one at cost since it was a failure of thier lite which created the problem most of the companies making divelites work very hard to keep thier customers happy and will often even...

just guessing alkalines can put out gasses which corrode brass some brass is more resistant than others and some stuff that looks like brass like beryliium copper is even better but i cant pretend to know what the ce light uses might also have been just a bad set of batteries or too deeply...

but remember you have fixed the immediate problem but not the cause which is probably wrong brass take my advice and tin it and it wont happen again otherwise its just a matter of time until it does unless you want to polish the contacts before every dive

alkaline batteries can offgas stuff that is corosive to brass try cleaning off the battery cardle strip where it makes contact at both ends even better tin th contact points on the brass strip with solder the higher % tin the better and silver doenst hurt they dont corrode the way brass does...
