I purchased a 3 pack of the model 350 at Costco. Everyone one of them
has this issue. 3 months is about right. Put new batteries in all of
them and a few months later they all are virtually drained of battery
life.

Well, of COURSE! The purpose of selling a flashlight is to sell
BATTERIES! If you can design the flashlight to DRAIN the batteries, then
you sell more batteries! What a brilliant concept.

Does this thing have an electronic circuit to turn the light on and off?
Maybe that circuit has some small current to keep it operating.
