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.

cork instead of a wine bottle cork. However, I haven't seen anything
for doing it with 4 alkaline cells. That's probably a waste of time,
so I suggest you recycle the flashlight and buy something that runs on
a LiIon cell and not on alkaline cells.


or use NiMH

I think NiMH is 1.2V while cells are 1.5V.


Alkaline start at 1.55v ad are totally flat at about 0.8v. NiMH stay at about 1.2v for most of their discharge.
