This still works, but I’m starting to worry about the durability of my Modlite (specifically the batteries) on a shotgun. Battery that’s been in the gun on the right vs new on the left. These are Modlite branded batteries. No way this is normal, right?

I have a Cloud Defensive OWL and struggle with the same fears. Even the best rechargeables are still hobbyist batteries, not as robust as CR123a. I get that you need to step up to a bigger battery to get the kind of output that we seem to expect nowadays but I'd rather have a reliable 20,000 candela vs a sketchy 150,000.

I decided that I don't like how flimsy the TRex mount on the handguard is and have been experimenting a bit. The Arisaka offset mount fits pretty well on the Nordic barrel clamp rail. I don't have a short light body on hand, but am thinking I'll order one and move the light here full time. This was just to make sure it would fit. Anyone have a reason why this is a stupid idea before I start spending more money?
Also, killed another Modlite battery . . .
ETA: This time, with pics.

Malkoff has some "Battery Bumper" o-rings (one at the front and the other at the rear of the battery) that supposedly alleviate damage to the battery and switch in rough treatment. I have a pair in one of my Malkoff lights and it seems to help as I've dropped that light several times onto concrete.
