The instructions for the DS125 strobe says not to remove the Battery O ring at all and leave it in situ, I've been told by a buddy who had a DS125 flood that upon inspection after the fact there was sand or grit under the O ring that may have contributed to it flooding, and so he's considering cleaning under it, I guess my question is, Do I remove the O ring and clean under it and possibly avoid a flood but void a warranty, or leave it in place possibly causing a flood and waiting for the warranty to fix the problem (takes about 6 weeks of no strobe from downunder), kind of Damned if you and damned if you don't huh!

Instructions warn you to not stretch the "O" ring when cleaning or lubing. It is not a clean every time used, but should be done occasionally............
