Do you store batteries in your flashlights?

Hey CPF,

Why do or don't you store batteries in your flashlights? Feel free to leave experiences of batteries going .... Inside your flashlight!!

Yes. Lots of unprotected cells though largest unprotected are 123 size. No problems whatsoever.

The only battery chemistries that I leave in my Mods are NiMH and LiFePO4. Truthfully the only chemistry type I trust to literally have next to my bed at night "loaded" are NiHM.

I leave batteries in almost everything, but i was just thinking about this question last night.

My EDC carry light (ultrafire a40) i need one in it all the time because i use it daily.

What i decided was to make some kind of battery case out of a flat fishing box and some spongy foam, and seperate each group of batteries, by which device they power. That way i can keep track of them, and know which ones need to be topped off with the chargers.

I keep batteries in everything and aside from a few leaked alkalines in old incan minimags or minimag knockoffs and one remote control I've never had any problems.

Yes... no reason not to.

I don't leave alkalines in anything except low drain devices.
