Let me change that to how often do you NEED TO change the battery in your ARC? I was just wondering how much usage you get out of the 6 or so hrs of light in real time. In particular I was wondering about a keychain mounted scenario.
I only change the batteries in my keychain Photon 2 once or twice a year. When it gets dimmer than an infinity. Thats probably only 2 hrs of actual runtime.
My lanyard mounted Arc sees less intermittent use but more prolonged use on camping trips and such. I will generally put a new battery before each trip. Not that it needs it or anything, I just like to know I have light in reserve if an emergency should arise.
