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?

Should be able to fit in one of these cases: https://www.18650batterystore.com/collections/18650-battery-cases.

That said, can you just unscrew the tail a corner turn before putting it in your pocket.

Probably not. That doesn't work on most Olight's. It's worth a shot though.

Thanks! I'm going to test if turning it will reliably disable it from turning on. That would be a wonderful solution, as it takes no extra room and it's quick to get the flashlight working again.
