Hi guys,
Not sure where best to post this but I assume in the LED flashlight rather than the battery forum is best.
I recently bought a Fenix TK60 and to go with it a set of Maha Powerex 11000mAh rechargeable D cells.
I put the batteries in for the first time last night to try the light out and when I was finished I took them back out again and noticed that the battery at the tail cap end of the torch had been dented and scratched by the spring in the tail cap.
Obviously this is concerning to see as I assume damage to a battery is never a good thing and I assume the damage will continue to get worse, either by the constant spring pressure when the tail cap is screwed down or by the rotation of the spring when the tail cap is removed to take the batteries out to recharge them.
Looking for your thoughts, advice etc re this.
