I've had an aluminum EDC XML for about two months and LOVE it; however, I've had some small but persistent issues. Here's the deal:
I'm running both AW IMR 18350's and 16340's. I get a small but noticeable flicker every once in a while. At first, I thought it must be a low battery. But it still sometimes flickers (on each L/M/H mode) even with a fully charged AW. Then I thought that maybe it was the cheap $10 Nano charger that might be causing the issue, so I bought a Pila charger hoping to get a more reliable charge. After charging the 18350 today, I popped it in and still see a small flicker at times. Granted, it works without a glitch 90% of the time, but it's still quite annoying when it happens, you know?!?
My question: is this to be expected or is something up with either my four AW batteries and/or the light itself? Is there anything else I should try?
Many thanks!
