On my first cell change tonight, I found that my Squidlight would not turn on with my GP AAA NiMHs.
When I looked into it, I saw that the cell contact that contacts the only negative end of a cell in the cap, doesn't have a tall enough nipple to actually make the contact.
The contact relied on the protruding negative terminal of a AAA cell to make the contact.
In trying to add a drop of solder to the contact, the plastic of the cap melted too badly to be salvageable.
One less squidlight in the world...
*EDIT* *UPDATE* The squidlight will work with rechargeables. See this post:
Squidlight rocks with rechargeables! *UPDATE* *EDIT*
