Hey everyone, I've been lurking these forums for the past week or so researching various LED flashlights. I was amazed at all the detailed information that people posted! I would have never thought that there was such an active forum for flashlight freaks such as I. Thanks guys!
After reading a boatload of information on the lights in my price range, I decided to go with the Fenix PD30 along with some AW RCR123's and charger. I love this flashlight! Very easy to operate and puts out a huge amount of light for its size.
On day two, I decided to run a battery life test on the High mode to see if the rechargeables were able to perform well enough for my liking (it ran for roughly 3 hours on High, but was used quite a bit the first day). I couldn't wait to see the low battery flicker, but it never came. The light just suddenly turned off.
Not that big of a deal, but it would be nice to know whats going on. Has anyone else had a similar problem with any of their Fenix lights that supposedly have a low battery indicator? Maybe it has something to do with the higher voltage of the AW's?
Any help to turn this thing into the perfect torch for me would be awesome!
Thanks again for supporting my new addiction!
