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.
