My solution: unload the MagLite when not in use; leave it open; only
install the batteries when you need the flashlight.

A problem with that is that I have that I have four of them around the
house located in places that I can find in the dark by feel. I don't
want to have to find the batteries in the dark.


Rubber-band them to the flashlight, in the orientation you'll need them to
be when installed.
