I'm wondering if its actually the optic rattling or not. When I tap my XO3 on the bezel I can hear the batteries rattle, but not the optic.

i just insert a thin roll of paper (no glue or tape, it expands inside the tube) to silence batteries, if this is a problem

The way the Inova lights are designed, there is a spring loaded negative contact in the head, and no spring in the tail, which is opposite of most lights. Tapping the light on the bezel compresses that spring loaded contact plunger and makes a smacking sound. The tube is so tight I dont think the batteries could rattle against it anyway.

Yes the inovas will accept Pila 168S batteries, but you have to remove the outer wrapper from the battery.
I dont think it would be safe to feed it a pair of RCR123's since that would be about 8.4 volts. A Pila 168S runs in regulation for a very very long time in a T3/XO3.
