Run-Time Plot - NexTorch MM

[Roy]

These runtime plots are for a NexTorch MM (Magic Max) that uses CR2, AA Alkaline or AA Batery Station Li batteries.

Equipment used is a Extech Mdl 401021 Light Adapter into a Radio Shack 22-805 multimeter with a PC interface thatis using Scopeview software (V 1.08).

The verticle axis is in VDC and is equivalent to 1Fc@1Ft per 1 mVDC. The horizontal axis is in time.

Be aware that your actual battery milage may vary from that indicated by this runtime plot.


The runtime to 50% max brightness = 58m using one CR2 battery

The runtime to 50% max brightness = 2h 3m using 2xAA alkaline batteries

The runtime to 50% max brightness = 4h 44m using 2xAA Battery Station Li batteries

I did notice that a few minutes befor the NexTorch MM goes dark, the light flickers for 5-10 seconds.

Used the following brands of batteries:

CR2....Dpower
AA alkaline...Ultra-Alkaline Supercell
AA Li...Battery Station

Thanks for the runtime plots Roy. IIRC, your plots are very similar to those posted by one of the sellers. It does quite nicely with the CR2.
