I've been running NiMH with my L0D and L1D but decided to give Li-Ions a try after seeing so many reports of success.
The 10440 (UF unprotected from DX) trial went without a hitch and was a lot brighter but when I tried a 14500 (AW protected) in my L1D, it lit up initially but didn't seem that much brighter. I then swapped out the 14500 for a NiMH but when I swapped back to the 14500, the L1D didn't light up anymore. The NiMH still works but it now refuses to lit up on the AW 14500 at all. Unfortunately, I only purchased one 14500 as I wasn't sure that I was going to like Li-Ions.
I'm thinking that perhaps because the AW 14500 doesn't have a nub on the positive terminal, it's not getting good contact? What can I put there to test this theory? Would a small washer or magnet work?
Thanks.
