Should I store my GearLight S1000 with batteries?

It's generally not advisable to store your GearLight S1000 with batteries inside. While it’s convenient for immediate access, leaving batteries in the flashlight for extended periods can lead to leakage, corrosion, or battery degradation.

Removing the batteries when the flashlight is not in use helps protect both the batteries and the flashlight itself. This precaution can significantly extend the lifespan of both components, preventing unnecessary repairs or replacements.

For example, if you store it in your car for emergency use and leave the batteries in, the temperature changes may cause the batteries to leak, damaging the flashlight.

PRO TIP: Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place and keep the batteries in a separate, labeled container.

CONSIDERATION: If you frequently use the flashlight, keeping batteries inside for short periods for convenience is acceptable, but make sure to check and replace them regularly.
