The internal AA pack is included with all KX1's, so buy some good alkaline

I don't think that, if I had a KX1, I would do this! At least, I would
remove the batteries after every use.
Just yesterday my maglite stopped working. Opening it, I discovered
that an alkaline battery had leaked. It was quite a job to get it out
and clean the gunk from the tube. Note that I am very careful not to
leave discharged batteries in the flashlight -- it had worked fine the
day before. This is the second time in several years that an alkaline
battery has done this to me. I don't trust the suckers, and I certainly
wouldn't risk something like a KX1.
