I bought an original S30R Baton in 2015. The model with the common tailcap problem.
(For those who are unaware, the light has magnetic charging. It works by pushing in a pin to break the circuit and insert the charger into the circuit. Problem is the contact between the parts in the tailcap corrodes over time (seems to be galvanic corrosion) and the resistance increases, causing a loss of high/turbo modes. Cleaning works for a while but the light is unreliable.)
I stopped using the light and relegated it to backup duty only because of the unreliability, kind of gave up on it. I contacted Olight recently and they replied within a couple of days, and sent me a brand new S30R Baton III (redesigned to fix the problem) to replace the defective light via next day shipping.
They truly stand behind their 5 year warranty.
Cheers, Olight!
