Hello,
I own a Mag-Lite 3D which lately, I've been using very rarely. About a year ago, I replaced the old batteries with fresh new Duracell Ultra's. Then, after six months or so of using the light very rarely (not even more then 10 minutes total) the beam became very dim and was pretty much useless.
I know that alkalines slowly fade as the batteries age, and I've heard that lithium batteries stay bright until they die.
Basically what I want is to be able to store my Mag-Lite for longer periods, and still have it's full power available for emergency use. So the first thing that comes to my mind is using lithium batteries.
I've never used lithiums before, so I would like to know more about them such as pros and cons, power, output, etc. Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
