Kevin To carry the older acrylic 3-clip lights, you rotate the battery 180 degrees and clip down the canister lid as per normal but with the O-ring removed. This solves the A) offgas, B) will mash the switch and fittings issues. However, it does not prevent damage of the canister due to poor handling.

I usually left the oring out with the whole thing assembled. Point taken. So. My plan for next week is to seperate the cannister and the battery, pad the cannister well with soft goods and hope for the best.
