I believe you are referring to this review: The graph shows the Alkaline fast roll off, followed by the extremely long run time from the cells. In the review it crossed the %50 mark at 11hr 29min and has started it's slow descent to zero. You can get some useable amount of light for 24 hours. Last edited: Jan 11, 2006

Yes, just resistance in the unregulated versions. Also, even the regulated versions DO NOT HAVE REGULATION. PERIOD. They have a simple voltage boost circuit. But the output curve exactly follows the standard discharge curve for alkaline batteries.
