Question, I was debating about getting one of the 9AN lights. Would it be worth my time to rebuild the standerd b90 battery packs with better batteries ??

Would you notice much difference in run time ?

I have 6 surefire b90 battery packs and none of them holds charge. I have one battery pack made from sanyo cells and it hold the charge and have decent runtime. In my opinion it is worth the time to rebuild new battery packs.

Are there any alternative suppliers of the B90 battery pack yet? After having four bad batteries from Surefire, I haven't used my 8AX for a year or more but with the release of the KL7, it brings up possibilities.

geepondy, have you contacted Surefire recently? Last I heard they had fixed the glitch in the few lots of B90s and were shipping fully function replacement ones now. Just a thought.

My newest B90 was left in my gear bag for 60 days after charging, still had a 35 minute run time to it. charged her up and good to go. They seem to be fixed at this time.
