Re: Fenix P1D after battery explosion
During the walk I used it on primary for less than an hour. As I mentioned formerly i used it very little (ten minutes, or so). After returning home i left it resting for an hour and wanted to see how much juice was left in it. The runtime of P1D on primary is more than two hours.
I put it on a desk tailstanding to se how much energy these particular batteries are holding. Before the explosion nothing unusual happened. It did not get warm or anything. Just a few second before the explosion the flickering I mentioned formerly.
I put this thread into this section intentionally to show how resilient modern led flashlight are, but if you think it should belong to another section it is fine, but I do not know how to transfer.
Ouch - but by the sound of it, it could have been a great deal worse. It will serve as another compelling reason not to buy El Cheapo junk cells. A warning needs to be circulated about these particular ones.
How long into the run-time test was it? And did you leave the light tailstanding while it was running, or were you holding it? Did you notice anything unusual just before it blew?
I think this thread probably belongs in the "Flashlight Electronics - Batteries Included" forum.
