Product Description (Detailed)

The GMR Gear ParaSight is an adaptable single-cell waterproof battery carrier that is the successor to the Kydex IA Caddy. It is capable of carrying a single 18350, CR123A, AA, AAA, or similarly sized battery cell within a rugged nylon polymer body and cap with waterproof sealing behind multiple Buna-N rubber O-Rings. 
A 1/8 clockwise turn of the cap combined with positive pressure of the cap onto the body firmly interfaces 8 locking lugs on the body into 8 camming locking slots on the cap that create a constant-pressure axial face seal against one or two O-rings (one vs two O-ring seal is dependent on user configuration). A 1/8 counterclockwise turn of the cap engages angled faces in the cap's locking slots that cam the cap off and away from the body. The ParaSight's cap and body can be orientated in 8 different rotational positions based on user preference, lockup performance is identical in all positions. Although it is extremely rare to damage the lugs unintentionally, the ParaSight can still function with 100% effectiveness with as few as 3 locking lugs remaining. 
Equipped with a captured nickel plated steel conical spring in the bottom cavity of the body, constant pressure is applied on the battery to prevent battery rattle and compensate for a wide variance in sizes (lengths) of different brands and specs of batteries. The spring also serves to assist in ejecting excessively short batteries from the body. The body’s interior cavity is purposefully oversized to all compatible battery sizes to prevent cells from becoming stuck within the cavity.
Diamond "knurled" texturing on the exterior of the body and ridged texturing around the cap combined with an overall semi-rough surface finish allow for easy grip of the assembly while being opened or closed in dry, wet, and oily environments without issue. 
The ruggedized top spine on both the body and cap further assist in positive tactile identification of the orientation of cap to the body as well as providing increased leverage for locking and unlocking the cap. This spine has 4.2mm or 1/6in (0.167in) diameter holes on each of the 3 sides of the spine on both the body and the cap; 18 total holes on the body’s spine and 3 total holes on the cap. These holes are sized to work with standard NATO military cordage such as paracord and shock cord, but are compatible with any common cordage, wires, zip ties, and anything else you can fit through. The holes are oriented to permit a plethora of routing options to allow the user to lash or dummy cord the ParaSight with any combination and orientation of retention desired. Recessed oversized cavities on both ends of the body’s spine and the exterior end of the cap’s spine allow cordage knots or wire anchors to be tucked away to decrease the chance of snags while also increasing the longevity and durability of knotted cordage ends. A 3/16th (0.1875in) or M4.5 (4.5mm) screw will self-tap and bite into the 1/6th (0.167in) or 4.2mm spine holes without any functional damage to the ParaSight allowing for rigid attachment options with common hardware
The stored battery is protected by up to three (3) Buna-Nitrile O-rings in both face seal AND piston seal directions. The ParaSight comes with two (2) total O-rings pre-installed and pre-lubricated. One axial-face-seal 017 O-Ring in the top internal groove creates back-pressure on the locking lugs while also face-sealing between the body and cap. And a second 015 O-Ring on the interior male groove of the cap creates a radial-piston-seal against the interior bore of the body. Users may choose to replace this second radial-piston 015 O-Ring with the included 016 O-Ring to increase the sealing pressure for inclement use conditions, however it will noticeably increase the resistance in installing and removing the cap from the body. O-Rings are pre-saturated with Super Lube 56204 Clear Silicone O-Ring Lubricant which is Dielectric, NSF food grade, USDA H1 Clean, hydrophobic, and rated -58F to 392F (any excess lubricant on batteries will not interfere with electronics function, it’s dielectric and will actually improve contact).
Users may also optionally install a 3rd O-Ring on the bump flange. This bump flange around the body's circumference prevents the cap from scraping or rubbing against surfaces while being manipulated and protects the locking lugs from damage. This bump flange also provides an additional O-ring groove for adding an axial-face-seal (016, 017, 018, 019, or 020 size O-rings are compatible with this external groove. Experiment with different sizes to select resistance to user preference). This O-Ring groove is necessary to be used with alternative cap options where specified and wil interface with TBA accessories. 
IP67 dust and water resistant (1 meter [39.4in] submersion for 30 mins) in factory configuration (015/016 O-Ring on the cap's radial piston seal AND 017/018 O-Ring on the cap's axial face seal).
The ParaSight is paintable with most off the shelf quality spray and acrylic paints. Experiment on small, less visible areas of the ParaSight. Recommended to paint with the cap affixed onto the body with O-rings installed. Use caution to not paint over critical dimensions such as sealing faces where O-rings interface and locking lug interfaces.

Disclaimers, TroubleShooting, FAQs:

-Extended freezing conditions may reduce the water resistant seal of the ParaSight; mainly when water is between O-Ring seals or within O-ring grooves prior to freezing. Recommended to verify cavity and interfaces are as dry as possible to prevent degradation from water's natural expansion upon freezing. 

-Extended exposure to extreme heat (greater than 175F or 80C) is not recommended

-Extended exposure direct UV/Sunlight is not recommended

-Configurations with only a single sealing O-Ring, or an O-Ring smaller than recommended in the specified location(s) may reduce the sealing performance between the cap and body

O-Rings and mating/sealing surfaces should be checked for lubrication and cleanliness periodically, and can be relubricated with Super Lube 56204 or any comparable silicone O-Ring lubricant.

-Not recommended for extended submersion

-Texture, finish, and fine details may vary cosmetically from unit to unit

-Black dyed color may vary from unit to unit

-Tangible interface between cap and body may vary slightly from unit to unit, use will “break in” operation smoothness
