Hi.

I just bought a S30R III and just cant understand the tailcap charger design. It looks risky having both + and - terminal exposed that close to each other. How can I even have the light in my pocket without risking my keys to short circuit it. Or have I missed something?
Please share your thoughts. As it is now I think I need a rubber cap or something over the the tailcap everytime.

I think the negative terminal (in mid) should have been alittle deeper/lower than the present design.

Thanks Peter.

The last post in that thread confirmed what I was afraid of, even if a few other users was lucky so far. It's just a matter of time.
The recessed terminal is not recessed enough to be considered safe in my opinion.

However, a diode protection was discussed.
I'm awaiting answers from Olight tech support and will ask them if this exists or not - or if they have any kind of corrective action or solution to make this product safe.
