I just bought a brand new Fenix TK50 that uses 2 D-cell batteries. When using NiMh batteries it works just fine. But when I switch out to a set of Good quality alkaline D-cells, something peculiar happens.
The way the flashlight is supposed to work...
In normal mode the light cycles low-mid-high-turbo, then back to low again
What happens with alkaline batteries.....
In normal mode the light cycles mid-mid-high-turbo, then back to mid...No low
Any ideas what is happening...is it the higher voltage of the alkaline. Fenix states that alkaline can be used. I could go on happily with just NiMh, but I need the backup option of alkaline batteries. If it wont go into low, then it is not very useful to me.
Your input is appreciated...
