How to pass an parameter with special characters from vbs to batch file without enclosing it in double quotes?

Question

I want pass an parameter with special characters from vbs to batch file without enclosing it in double quotes.
vbs:

Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Shell.Run "Test.bat ""0,(5306546...)"""

batch file:

@echo off
echo %1
pause > NUL

My goals is the output:

0,(5306546...)

And not:

"0,(5306546...)"

If the vbs were:

Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Shell.Run "Test.bat 0,(5306546...)"

L'output of the batch file would be:

This question is different because I didn't know the %~1 command before this answer.

Leave the quotes and strip them in the batch by using `Echo=%~0` — , Jun 13 '18 at 15:19
The use of the tilde in the answer below is documented in the `CALL` and `FOR` commands help files. — Squashman, Jun 13 '18 at 16:38

Why not simply use

echo %~1

in your batch?
