This runtime plot is for an Arc LS using one AA sized Tadiran 3.6v Lithium battery. At the end of two hours there was a dull glow still coming from the led.

Equipment used is a photocell and a Radio Shack 22-805 multimeter with a PC interface that is using ScopView software (V 1.08)

The vertical axis is in MA and the horizontal axis is 15 minutes per division.

Be aware that your actual barrety mileage may vary from that indicated by this runtime plot

Come up to Seattle and say that.

Seattle is also the land of $14 CR123A's and nonexistant AAAAs, CR2s and CR-V3s.

If you can get out to the Wall-Mart way off the beaten track, the prices are better. But you're screwed if you live downtown and don't drive.

Yeesh. What a waste. I only paid $3.20 each for 10 LiIon AAs. A single one of these will drive a 1W Luxeon for over two hours at 95% brightness, and when it's dead you just charge it back up again...
