Bearing in mind the controversy and warnings about using Lithiums in the P.Tek Surge, I almost held my breath as I loaded Mr. Surge with 8 fresh Eveready Lithium AA's... CLICK! It lights, it stays on!
Brightness looked to be about the same or slightly brighter than Alkaline AA's.
Reexamined the Lithiums - Date: 2009, Voltage: 1.59 - 1.60. then examined Alkalines I had removed before installing the Lithiums. Duracell (not Ultra)
Date: 2008!? (Has anyone ever seen reputable brand Alkalines post-dated 7 years?) Voltage: 1.58-1.59. Are
the Lithiums low and the Duracells high? I recently got Surefire 123A Lithiums dated 2011.
Anyway, I'll leave all that for the EE's to figure out. My brief test so far has been
1) Steady burn: 30"
2) Five seconds on, five seconds off repeated 10 times.
3) Steady burn: 30"
That's it so far. I'll report on it again after I've used it a while.
