I'm finding plastic and metal often stick. Two examples: I have some Greenworks battery tools and it's almost impossible for my wife and I to separate the pole saw sections and remove the battery (which is plastic on plastic) without a rubber hammer. The second is trying to remove new Delrin bushings from a mandrel. I have to hold it with a plyers, turn the lathe on and gently move it off. Is there a recommended lubricant for situations like this? Thank you.

I have also used dialectic grease for this kind of issue. Auto supply store.

Old enough to wish I could do it again.

One thing about the GW batteries: the rails/tabs that the battery slides on aren't really the problem. The only time I have trouble removing a battery is when it isn't really stuffed in all the way. What I do to remove it is push it back in first (just a light whack with my palm) before I touch the release, works every time.
You may notice that after the battery in inserted and locked, it's possible to pull it back a bit...not much, just a millimeter or so. What I think happens then is that the lock/release widget either doesn't release cleanly or ends up pushing the battery so it binds against the rails.

"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
