I have no problem using Kirkland batteries.

The issue is that many do not use their mag lights daily or frequently. The solid built metal tube and the waterseal O-ring gasket is what is causing the issue of built up of moistures due to infrequent use.

I know in law enforcement use there is no corrosion issue.
