Well, this IS a premium, limited supply product, so it only makes sense to send it with a premium battery.
I tried to meter the current in mine, but because of the way the flashlight was made, was not able to. If I chopped the barrel up a bit (to remove some of the HA-III finish and expose bare aluminum), I might be able to. But I kind of hesitate doing that to such a loveable, one-of-a-kind, little baby flashlight. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif
