L2T Becomes Single Stage w/dying Batteries?

TwoKidsNoTime · Sep 1, 2006

Last night, I noticed that my L2T high mode wasn't working. I put in brand new alkalines and high/low mode worked again. Is this normal, that high mode goes away because perhaps the battery cannot put out the needed current?

This happens with my L2T aswell. I think you assumption is correct about the batteries not being able to supply enough juice to the LED.

My SF L2 works the same way; still enough juice to run the low but not Hi.

My SL Argo HP did the same thing after it had been accidentally activated in storage. It was pretty much a toss-up as to whether high had ANY difference between low.

I think once the batteries drop to a certain point, it automatically goes into low mode. I generally use my L2T on high only, so when it drops to low, I take the batteries out right away for recharging so as not to discharge them too much and damage them.

I put some old alkalines I found while cleaning out a bag in my L2T a couple of hours ago and high mode would not activate. I put the batteries on the multimeter and they showed just over 1.3V.
