Maratac extreme aaa questions issues

Rud · Mar 10, 2011

I picked up a couple of maratac extreme aaa and both are draining batteries. Is anyone having the same issues? Also I email them twice with no response. Does anyone have a good contact there?

Total bummer as the are really cool.

I have a Maratac AAA overdriven with a 1040 battery. It is super-bright. It gets cycled in with my EDC lights. No problems with battery drain unless I use it too much. Nice light, really. I can't explain your problem. Mine gets used for short bursts to find my way or look behind the computer.

Is that the original Maratac AAA, or the new Extreme?

I got the polished stainless AAA MAratac about a week ago (don't know if thats the "extreme" model) to keep in my camera bag... Great little light. I played with it, and admired it, for about 20 minutes before putting it in my packpack to live. I just checked it the Energizer lithium is still driving it strong.

I have also done some emailing with them successfully, at: [email protected] [on behalf of [email protected]]

I have a brand new one with the same issue. It lasted less than one week WITHOUT USE and the battery is dead. I'll be returning mine.

I just did a little more research to find out if I have the extreme model. It seems the extreme model has a click switch tail, where mine is a nice polished stainless but no clicky. Mine's just a twist head... And I just looked at countycomm site, there's nothing with "extreme" in the name and no small lights with clicky tails. So they must have pulled it.
