However, if you want to put batteries in them and stash it in a closet or grab bag for infrequent use, the always flashing green LED drains the batteries after a year or so.
You can insert a strip of paper to block one of the terminals to prevent this drain. I use a longer strip of paper so some of it sticks out the side so I can properly label it. This does take away the convenience of immediate use, as you have to open and close it before use..
It's most similar to the Streamlight 44931 for 1/4th the cost. At ~32oz with batteries, it is likely not not for backpackers targeting the 3~8oz range.

Have used it quite frequently maybe 1-2x every few months/camping.
Still have yet to replace original D batteries.

Flipping batteries doesn't prevent current flow, and is generally a bad idea, as it opens up failure scenarios, such as:
- flipping all 3 = if incandescent, could still work/drain; if LED, could damage the circuit
- flipping 1 or 2 in a 3-cell setup; depending on the voltage required, could still power on, and eventually damage the one reversed cell, device, or both
Most modern devices seem to be set up to refuse to work with incorrect battery configurations, but I figure why tempt fate?
Admittedly, if I'm storing them for long-term storage, batteries don't belong in any device.

To charge..it's so slow so I almost think I would rather have the battery version
