With the overall lifespan of rechargeable batteries being so long, they're bound to see damage from the many insertions and removals. I'm seeing spring damage on the flat end of my AA NiMH's already and they've only been in and out of my light maybe 10-15 times for each pair. Are there any alternatives to the normal springs (Minimag in this case) that don't act like drill bits on the end of your batteries? Are there any other tips for saving your batteries from this type of wear?
