Just out playing with the new to me D40A, impressed, I was using the free Alkis that came with it (Bright orange GP ultras, I have no idea what there quality is like as never used them before) and to begin with I was very impressed, a very noticeable difference between turbo and high and it began to get hot after maby 30 second to a min (not hot to touch just warm) yet after maby only 5-10 mins of playingn with it in all modes I could no longer tell any difference between high and turbo!! And it would not create any heat on turbo as it had lost so much output. I never even got to run turbo for the full three mins before cut off.
I'm hoping they were just crap batterys, I know alikis have a very poor discharge curve but dose this sound normal? Maby they were just cheap battery or is this typicall Alki proformance? Woukd a good Duracell cell proform better?
I'm guessing that when I use NiMH it won't have this and will confirm it was poor batterys (I know even NiMH is not as flat as lion but it is much better I belive) and I will be able to flick onto turbo for most of the capctiy of the battery when I want to and it still be brighter than high.
