I haven't seen this discussed here. If it has, please point me to the thread. This is my first Fenix light.
Looks like when the battery starts getting low I lose high mode, but it still works in low. I am kind of thinking that once high mode is lost the battery needs to be replaced for the light to be working as as advertised so the low runtime should end at that point.
I suppose it is possible that by the time high is lost, the output on low has fallen as well, but I have no way to judge that. The amount of light with a low battery looks the same as low mode with a fresh battery to my eye.
Anyone know if the runtimes on low go past the point where high is lost? Is losing high mode with a weak battery normal behavior for these lights?
BTW, I'm using alkalines.
