This Saturday I'm going to put in a a set of SF CR123A batteries in my Fury and check its high run time.
Is it bad for the light to keep it on till the batteries are exhausted?
I'm sure I'm only getting a little more than half hour of intermittent usage at work using high mode, hence the need to find out.
If its not good to turn it on and leave it that way, what would be suggested - maybe 10-15 minutes and then let it cool maybe 10 minutes or so and then back on for a bit? or does it not matter?
Need to find out if the light isn't working correctly, or, and I hope, the SF CR123A cells I got are maybe not up to standards.
I'm stumped because the batteries seem fine in my other CR123A lights. But at the same time I hope there isn't something wrong with my Fury.
If it's the batteries, then I'll get a fresh lot of them, but that will be a not so easy thing as last month I bought a bunch of these SF CR123A's. Maybe I got some that's been sitting shelved for a few years or so.... I dunno. Just doesn't seem right. Checking only a dozen of them out of the box (Dz's) I'm getting 3.25 to 3.26 volts.
If I can't get an hour run time, then I'll probably take another light to work (in addition to my edc) to replace the Fury. But I like its size and brightness that I use for certain checks every morning at work when its dark out.
add - 66 views and no opinions... guess I'll just run it and time it. And since I also just got a EA4 and was impressed checking it out last night, might just order another to keep/use at work and pull the Fury from work duty, then it wouldn't matter.
