I have an Olight S1R baton that I want to carry around in a pouch with other items.

Problem is, it keeps turning on by accident, even though I ‘locked’ it. I want to avoid melting anything, so I’m thinking about taking the battery (RCR123A) out while in the pouch.

I think I should put the battery in some kind of case then? I found a silicon case for single 18650 batteries, but nothing for this smaller battery.

Have any of you dealt with a similar issue? How did you solve it?

    I don’t have one of these lights, but from looking at reviews it seems like you should be able to lock it mechanically by unscrewing the head a quarter turn from the body, breaking the electrical connection entirely. Then you could leave the battery in the light. Seems safer and more convenient to me.
