FYI - Checked yours lately?
I was looking up something in my owners manual and decided to check the flashlight that came with it. I was surprised to find that the batteries had leaked and corroded the inside of it. Since I was going to use this flashlight if needed at night, I would have been SOL. I cleaned the inside and installed new batteries. Plus I put another light in one of the wells in back. Not a hugh tech tip but I thought it might save someone else a problem.

I check mine every once and a while. Still looks good, but I guess I had better check it again just to make sure the batteries have not leaked.
