Just got a Fenix LD20.
1) For use in my EDC bag (where it really won't get used a lot) what type of batteries do you recommend?
2) During Summer camping trips and hikes, where I will be using it a lot, what type of batteries do you recommend? (I usually put a fresh set in when going to the mountains & carry back ups)
Also, I tried a search for this but I'm still not sure. Can I recharge Lithium Ion batteries in my Energizer NiMH charger?
How do Lithiums do in terms of self discharge? I am worried about using any rechargeable in my flashlight while it is in my EDC bag. I don't want to need it one day and have the batteries be dead. (even though I'll have a back up set)
Also, I heard that if you store alkaline batteries in you lights then you can rub vaseline on them and they will not corrode in the light. True? Other tricks?
