Err...just gonna have a whinge coz it bugs me to no end.
What? I hear you say.
People who go "I only pack a AA light in case I need batteries in an emergency."
HELLLLOOOOOOO!!!!!
You're a FLASHAHOLIC!!!
By that very definition you oughta have at least six months supply of power on hand.
Here's how it goes:
You pack a AA light, throw a pack of lithiums in the glove box, your murse (manbag), backpack, bedside draw, up your nose, I don't care. They take up all of deck of cards worth of space and are there when you need them.
You pack a CR123 light, see above.
You pack an 18650 light, have another one charged ALWAYS!!!
You have a maglite, sorry, D's are a bit big for your murse. Keep some alkalines in a cool, dark place. Better still, get some D-AA adaptors and keep some lithiums in stock.
This is not rocket science folks. My mother knows you needs spares on hand.
If you think the power will go out for a week, HAVE SOME BACK UP!!!
Yes, everybody is going to beat you to the corner store when the crap hits the fan and buy every last battery, so be, I repeat BE ready.
