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?

My suggestion would be to keep the battery in the light and loosen the head so it cannot turn on, otherwise known as physical lockout.

As for how to carry around small batteries here are a few ideas: coin purse, M&M minis tube, plastic pill bottle, small zipper pouch, soft shell earphone storage case, this frog, a banana, and finally you could use a Vonverse All Snar backpack. Good luck, let us know what works!
