Scurion cable connector

Just an idea. Please don't take this as professional advice coming from "Fellows Caplamps", I know very little about Scurions and have never even handled one!
So
Would it be possible to dump the plug altogether and fit a one piece cable? The battery could be disconnected inside the battery case to transport and storage. I rather expect, (guesswork, ref above) that it would require soldering skills inside the lamp but nothing more.

Am I missing something?

It is possible, though I have basic soldering skills only and would leave this to someone who knows what they are doing, like Ben or Rolf.
Indeed that's the normal design of Scurions, I believe it's only the basic which has the connector which is intended to give it more flexibility.

This is what I would go for if I were to purchase a Speleo battery box as at that point you'd have a good box and no need for modularity, so the connector is an unnecessary weakness. If I did this, the lamp would then be permanently tethered to one of the above battery box options, which at present I don't want.
