Locknload, I have the same issue with my new PD10. I have contacted Fenix and am working with them to resolve.
Interestingly, they sent me a replacement to try, but it was an older model (R2 LED vs. R5 LED). The R2 seemed better.
I have a theory that the problem happens under the following two conditions only:
1. Only in High/Turbo mode
2. Problem increases/worsens as battery becomes more drained.
I believe that as the battery drops in voltage, the light drives the battery harder (draws more amps) in order to maintain the high output.
I'm certainly no expert, but thats my opinion.
I also noticed that on high, the light gets EXTREMELY hot. This condition also worsens as the battery gets depleted. For example, with a fresh battery, you can leave it on high for 5 minutes and the bezel will just be slightly warm. However, once the battery becomes somewhat drained/used, after 1 minute on High, the bezel will be outright hot.
Just my thoughts.
I'll let you know how I make out with Fenix CS.
