Dear all,
I am not clear on the meaning of a couple of terms and would be very grateful of some help -
Firstly with respect to run times - wolf eyes sometimes refers to run times for their lights on regulated or unregulated - the unregulated being longer by a factor of 2. Just what does this mean? I thought at first it was run time at full power and then at a lower power but this doesn't seem to make sense.
Secondly I often hear the terms of protected and unprotected when referring to rechargeable batteries. I think this means that protected batteries have circuitry in them that stops the battery dischargeing too much - thus maybe causing permanent damage to the cell. This sounds like a good thing - but does it mean the battery gives up less of its charge than an unprotected battery - hence effectively being a smaller capacity. Just what are the pros and cons of the two types
Many thanks in advance
