How to safely carry battery for my flashlight? (kbin.social)

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 have not had to deal with this situation but I have a CR123A here and just tested it in a 18650 case and it fits fine enough that you could use one. With them being short you could carry two where a single 18650 goes. They will rattle around a bit.

If you're looking to carry more, Illumn has these here.

Thanks! That won't work for in the pouch (takes up too much room), but I'll do that for storing them at home.
