Hello all, earlier this summer, i bought 9 brand new powerex 1.2 volt NiMh AA batteries for my mag 85. I had a set before that lasted me over a year, but these didn't last 3 months. When i first bought them, i put them all in my FM 9AA holder and cycled them 5 times. They seemed to still be a slight bit dimmer than the originals. I had bought the flashlight from Black Bear Flashlights, ie the Borialis. He had made mention that he balances the included cells before he ships them out. Could this be why my brand new batteries are completely shot after only 3 months? If so, how could i go about balancing a new pack? Thanks for any help! -Daniel
