Proper storage for flashlights

[king2penn]

I was just wondering what is the proper way to store a flashlight for the long term... Does storing it in a drybox helps prevent rust from forming on the threads? Is there a need to remove the batteries?

I store my camera gear (EOS 400D and lenses) in the same way...

Btw- Photography+Flashaholism= Big Time

Regards,

Remove the battery(s) and put the flashlight back in its shipping/retail box. You don't have to worry about oxide, since it only forms from twisting the threads (assuming you lubed them).
