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.

you might want to charge the battery at some point, rather than just leaving it...

if it was mine I would turn in on once a month or use a charger that discharges and charges in a cycle. Battery will like that :-)
