How long will the M60 run on AW RCR123a Protected 750 mAh batts?

How long will the Malkoff M60 run on AW RCR123a Protected 750 mAh batts? His website says the runtime is 1 1/2+ hours on 2 CR123 primary batteries. Thanks in advance.

You can expect to get about 40-45% of the run time decent primary cells would give. If that's too short then you should just get another pair of AW cells for those occasions when you need extended run time.

My new M60 ran for 1 hour and 3 minutes before shutiing off on 2 AW RCR123a's

An even more interesting info would be runtime in an intermittent usage cycle, like 5 minutes on, 15 minutes off. Has anybody done any research on this?

BTW, from my very limited experience, I believe actual AW 750mah protected runtimes are more in the 65% range relative to lithium primaries.
