Understood about the circuit, was going to insert some fibre washers to act as insulators, thus preventing a circuit from occuring. Don't want my spares to discharge prematurely.

I've seen the Surefire cases but I didn't want to carry six batteries, I thought two would be enough. I have an E1e with KL1 Led head, so on run time one battery in the torch plus two spares should see me through most things. Besides I like the form factor and compass feature of this tube. If they where made a little longer, then I think this would be a good combination.

The other plastic matchcase is worth exploring as a battery case and cheap to, I'll check it out.
