What's the difference?

I am curious about something... My Husky 3 Million CP spotlight came with a 5.2AH rechargeable battery. The battery was dead when I received my light, so I replaced it with a 4.5AH rechargeable that I had laying around my house. The spotlight works fine with it's lower AH replacement. I would just like to know if by using a lower AH battery is my spotlight not being allowed to reach full performance? Or say if I drop in a 6.6AH will it be a lot better performance? What difference is there if any?

Runtime will be the only difference if the voltages are the same.

Provided your battery can support the current needed by the bulb only difference will be runtime

EDIT: of course I assumed the voltages of both batteries to be equal.

Runtime would probably be the biggest change, you should get around 13-20% less runtime then the original battery.

Thanks for the info... I was using the light last night and I'm satisfied with the runtime actually. I don't use it in a continuous state very long. I just hit things intermittently. I was gonna buy a larger AH battery, but now I am happy with the one I'm using since only runtime is the major difference. It's plenty bright, that's for sure....

I appreciate your replies........... :wave:
