Hi all, I have an MTE SF-23 that takes 18650 batteries.
The issue is that it seems to suddenly go dim, sometimes it's immediately dim when I turn it on, sometimes it will be at "normal" brightness for a few seconds before then going dim. This happens in any mode (low, medium, high, flashing...) and once it's happened it remains dim when I click through the modes.
I've tried the batteries in another flashlight and they work fine, I've tried removing the rear cap and touching a key across from the body to the battery and the problem is the same. Cleaning with rubbing alcohol has made no difference.
This is about the limit of my skill/knowledge. Does anyone have any ideas or advice for what I can try? Thanks
