So it appears my flashaholism (weak though it may be) has come round circle again. Started my collections with AA lights and now I find myself running a 2xAA and 4xAA light in my glovebox (Surefire's went to the wife, the hotrod and the gun safe)... As such, I need to source some more durable options than alkaline or NiMH/LSD batteries. Historically, this has singularly pointed to Energizer L91 lithiums. Are these still in vogue or are there better options now?
I really don't burn through batteries with these lights as they are specifically reserved for use as glovebox lights (roadside repairs, emergencies, address finding, etc), though it would be nice if cost was sufficient to prevent a worry of excessive use.
Basically, I require three things.
1. Durability. I want to absolutely minimize leak risk.
2. Hot weather. Michigan summers can provide very hot car interiors.
3. Cold weather. Michigan winters can provide down to sub-zero temps (though routinely closer to 20-30F).
I know Energizer has those budget lithiums now but are they a better value or just lower cost? Anybody else in the game yet?
