So I took the battery out of my Elzetta Alpha the other day and I noticed the positive end of the battery was "sticky". So I looked inside the light and I noticed there a lot of what looks like grease inside the light at the head end. If this is normal then that's fine, it just seems excessive. The function of the light is not impaired at all. Is this normal?
Oil/Grease in Elzetta Alpha?

Hi,
Have you ever examined your mobile phone's battery terminals ?

Elzetta uses Molykote 55, a white silicone based O-ring lubricant. You can probably see it at the tail of your Alpha. If the grease inside the head is not white, then it's not their thread lubricant. While it's probably not harmful, you don't need lubricant on the battery terminal. If it were mine, I'd dip a Q-Tip in isopropyl alcohol and use it to clean the contacts.
