For example: when using a light that uses 2 AA batteries, let's make the fenix E21 as example light, the batteries inside make a series connection right? IT also means that the voltage increases but the capacity stays the same. So the total voltage will be 2.4V(1.2 * 2) but the capacity will still only be 2000mAh using eneloops. If the light consumes 1000mah, the light would run for 2 hours. If I also use a light that only takes 1 AA and consumes 1000mAh, that light will also run for 2 hours.
Why is it that some lights, lets say a given of 200 lumen output with 2AA for 2 hours while adding an AA extender will make it 3 hours(made up but close to what others say in their catalog). The addition of the other battery will only increase the total voltage but the 2000mAh capacity remains right? what does adding another battery make so that the light will run longer? Does it lessen the consumption of milliamps?
And for the parallel type, linking to battery would double the capacity and make the voltage same right? so 2 eneloops connected parallel will have an operating voltage of 1.2 and a capacity of 4000mAH?
