I had few panasonic "dead" CR123 cells so i decided to drain them completly. These cells measured 3.01v but after few seconds use they drop to 2.7v, and they are officially dead since my P2D and Romisen RC-C3 only turns on for a second before shutting down.
So I took the same cell, put it in my nitecore extreme and turned it on. Left it more than 12hours already, but it still brights up... In the first 4 hours it was close to 10 lumens, almost as bright as a fauxton. After 8 hours it was half as bright as my JET III on min. Now it looks much dimmer than an E01 in moon mode. I guess it is now at 2 lumen or even less, very dim, but still useful at night (throws up to 5 meters!).
I plan to leave it all night long to see what happens, this nitecore extreme is really extreme...
Picture I took 1 hour ago. the blue one is the fauxton.
