Default lighted nock doesn't want to stay in arrow

What would you guys/girls suggest I use to keep a lighted nock in an arrow? I want to be able to take it out and put it in a different arrow if the need arises. It worked fine shooting it a few times, then fell out while the arrow was in the quiver and I was shooting other arrows.

I have that problem with my noctrunals and power flight arrows,I put a little dab of fletching glue to help hold them in.I not sure how it will be to take out after.

guys dont glue them in

take a thin peice of paper and cut it so it is about 1/16th wide by 2 inches long, wrap it length wise around battery and then insert it into arrow it will give enough friction to hold light in the arrow. gluing them in will eventually cause you to have problems with them

Thread tape works well to.
