Last night I was working on my wife's Suburban. The radiator had a small crack in a place I couldn't see. It's plastic so I figured I could repair it myself.
I used two lights, a Scorpion and an L4. I used two so that I could alternate between them and keep the heat down. Of course I could have used one of my plug-in lights but why would I, this is what we do! Both had used batteries in different states of discharge. I used the Scorpion more because I could hold it in my mouth without chipping my teeth. After a period of time the Scorpion became quite dim so I switched to the L4. I immediately thought to myself, "wow, that's white". I ran the L4 until it lost regulation. Now the cool part...I took the old batteries out of the Scorpion and put them in the L4 because I was nearly done. I was able to use the L4 at full brightness for 7-10 more minutes. It was still running fine when I finished. I meant to replace both sets of batteries last night but got busy with other task. I just retested the L4 and even with the old worn out Scorpion batteries she is still running in regulation.
