I've done this before - it seemed to work when I shipped my dive gear by sea during a relocation.
1) Remove batteries from canister and store in a separate bag
Afterall leaks and off-gassing create their own problems..
I understand this might be advisable for shipping, but I always store mine with the lid off but leave the battery in the canister. Surely that is enough. I store the complete torch in a dry box. I won't be using mine for about 3 - 4 months either.
