Any suggestion for a Olight SR1 Baton alternative without magnets?

I have been carrying an original Olight Baton with a single RCR123A battery for years and can't tell you how many times the light went dead at the wrong moment
and I had to go find another charged battery.
I would like to upgrade to a flashlight that has a battery level indicator.
I don't want the flashlight I carry in my pocket with my knife to be magnetic.
That means the Olight SR1 with magnetic charging or any flashlight with a magnetic endcap is out.
Any suggestions for one with a similar size and brightness without magnet?
I have been looking and haven't found one yet.

If I was going to buy an rcr123 light without a magnetic tailcap it'd probably be the Jetbeam rrt0 for the control ring would be a lot of fun.
Jetbeam also makes the dcr10 which is likely a little simpler.

the Fenix PD25 is probably the only non magnetic tailcap 16340 compatible light in there current offerings.

Looking at all my lights in that size, they either have a magnetic tailcap or are under 500 lumens in output.
goodluck in your search

You might also consider the Acebeam TK16. Very similar interface through a tail switch. No magnet. Just a little bit larger. Choice of three different LEDs depending on your desire (HCRI, Throw or super bright).
