Hi folks,
First-time poster here. I've owned a 1st-generation Inova X5 for a number of years and just recently ordered a Fenix P2Dce to use as an EDC.
I came across NewBie's monster thread on 123 Primary Lithium cell failure and am now wondering whether I'll be carrying what could be an explosive device in my front pocket.
I do realize that NewBie's testing is centered around mismatched, 2-cell setups, and that 1-cell failures are rare. So, a 1-cell light, like the P2D should be relatively safe.
Nevertheless, I am wondering about the safety features, if any, of the P2D. I understand that what increases the danger of an explosive venting event is when the event occurs in an airtight flashlight. Hence, my question, does the P2D have any provisions to vent any gasses to the outside?
A related question is, at what cell voltage does the P2D cut off? I got the impression that one of the factors that could lead to explosive failure is severe overdischarging.
Thanks for any replies!
