I just picked up a new version of the Coast G10 AAA light. I have had an older version for a while, and I like the size of these lights. I find most single AAA lights to be too small. Anyhow, I went to put in a NIMH cell into it, and when I do, the light will not shut off!! If I put an alkaline cell in it, it works fine. A NIMH battery works fine in the old version. I tried swapping the end caps/switches on both of them, and the new one did the same thing. Could this be some sort of problem with the circuitry or regulation on this light? If I screw the end cap / switch on the light halfway, it works! I have never run into this before!
