Hi,

When removing the battery box. There is some kind of gue or elastic/sticky silicon around the battery drain hole. Does anyone know what that is where to buy it?

Obviously, a bit a dark question because I was not overwhelmed with the number of answers. However, I reached out to several technicians and I found out what it was and wanted to share the answer in case one of you replaces the battery box one day and want to use the same materials. It is called butyl caulk. I hope it helps someone. Best,

Yes, it is butyl caulk, but get the non-skining type which does not harden.
