Own three of these, not a single one works anymore, is there any medium sized flashlights with this shape that are reliable? I’m very new to this and I’m just trying to find a flashlight that isn’t going to stop working if I leave it for a month

[Convoy M1](https://convoylight.com/collections/m-series/products/convoy-m1-black-18650-flashlight?data_from=collection_detail) with your choice of emitter may suit your needs. SFT40 is nice.
Those are quite inexpensive. It’s hard to find reliable EDC lights for under $20 which these seem to be (checked prices on Menards).
Do you have a budget in mind?
Check out the Wurkkos FC11C, a great all-rounder. If you need more throw, I would suggest a Convoy M21F with an SFT40 emitter. Order both with a battery. The charger is integrated into the light.
Check http://www.wurkkos.com and http://www.convoylight.com.
You can definitely get better lights for similar prices, and you already have some good suggestions here.
Something to check: do they have alkaline batteries in them? It’s likely the batteries that died instead of the lights themselves, if they were just sitting. But if they’re alkaline, they may well have leaked and corroded the battery tubes, which won’t be worth fixing on these lights.
