When I first opened the package and started to use and test the light, I was very happy about my purchase. But very soon after I realized there is a problem... The light barely manages a minute or two on turbo mode, even though the manual states at least an hour. I tested the batteries and they were 1.24v for all 4. It seems with this light it will only go into turbo mode with freshly charged batteries. This cannot be right? I then took the batteries out and tested them in my TK40. The TK40 can work with 4 batteries also. It goes and stays into turbo mode on my TK40 no problem. So either my light is faulty or it's not a great light. I am very dissapointed.
EDIT: The problem was not the flashlight, but me using inferior NiMH batteries which could not deliver the amps this light needs in turbo mode. By switching to Eneloops did the trick.
