This is the advice I got to break in new batteries and flashlight:
However, I have some questions.
1.) Won't doing this wear down my flashlight bulb? (I bought 3 batteries, so this would be 15 cycles.)
2.) Can I just fully charge the batteries (they seem to already be charged somewhat) and then run them down 5 times?
3.) Can I put the fully charged battery in, set the light standing, and then let it run til it turns off......estimate 4 hours? Or would the flashlight overheat?
4.) Does anyone know an easier way to do this?
I don't want to leave the flashlight on all night or when I'm not around. I've got to "condition" these 3 batteries, so it seems it will take a long time.

This is the advice I got to break in new batteries and flashlight:
They are brand new AW 18650's and I am using a Ultrafire Charger and MRV SK v1.1.Please note that the initial charge is very important.
Charge your battery to full level and run out to min. level (protected type) for 5 times.
This can activate the battery to the best condition.
