I would try this with a smaller battery or a current limiting power supply. They told me that it should only take a few milliamps to zap the debris/residue (at one point the BaneBots rep mentioned "manufacturing residue").

I gave both leads about 100mA through the case for about 3 minutes each. Nothing. I'm debating if a big burst (like, say, a battery) is worth trying. I can't really imagine it is.
