I have been running AW 14500 in my H501w for a long time. Always going with the impression that Li-Ion gives me more output than NiMH, I did not bother to run Eneloop in the H501w until today. To my amazement, it actually runs brighter! I thought that my AW 14500 is weak so I changed it out for a new freshly charged battery but it still runs dimmer than the Eneloop. Just to convince myself that the 14500 cells are not faulty, I tried them in the Thrunite Neutron 1A neutral white and it runs brighter on all the 14500 than on an Eneloop.
Can any H501 or H501w users who have both 14500 and Eneloop batteries confirm this?
