And I hate to say it, but I'm pretty sure that it was by running Markcm's 3.0 volt rechargables in it. When I first tested out the rechargables, I measured a current draw of about .7 amps with primaries, and .8 amps with the rechargables. I didn't think it anything to worry about at the time, but now I am not so sure.
Anyway, I measured a current draw of about .4 amps a bit ago, and now it's down to about .2 amps. (with fresh primaries). The light, obviously, is dimmer now too. In any case, is there anything I can do about it? If there's a Nuwai warranty, I probably broke that too. I also can't see any way to get the head open, so I probably can't go messing around in there either. Any advice?
