so I bought this light off of the B/S/T forum and I'm having a a slight problem with it which, from PM'ing fivemega, is probably not an actually problem with the light as much as a problem with my batteries. He has been very responsive to my PM's but I don't want to keep bugging him so I thought I'd throw my problem out to the rest of you guys. You'll have to bear with me...I'm new the incandescent side of things.
so in a nutshell my problem is the light (a WA 1185 powered by 3xaw17670 batteries) will not turn on unless I quickly tap the switch 3 or 4 times. If it's on and I turn it off, I can immediately turn it back on but if I wait more than 30 seconds or so I have to do the same thing (3 or 4 taps then it will turn on). So in pm'ing fivemega he has diagnosed the health of my batteries as the issue. So my question is how can I determine the "health" of my batteries?
