never had a problem with this situation, and i have stored my ebow with the battery in it (well, various batteries) for 12-15 years.my favorite thing to do with the ebow of late is to pick a string on my lap steel that i want to ring, and sacrifice the two strings on either side. it is an 8 string, so i still have 5 strings to play with. that is fun.

degradation
I haven't used my ebow for a while and broke it out today to find the glue
line partially dissolved, the casing coming apart and a weird, black greasy
goo on the seam. Anyone else have this? It still had the battery inside.
Swapped it out and it works, it just mucked up my hands. I'll need to do
some epoxying as well. I believe the switch got bumped to the "on" position
in storage.
Anyone else have this happen? Off gassing from the battery?
