So I just got a Nitecore EA8 and love it so far. I've got a stash of alkalines I'm trying to use up before I go all rechargeable, so the EA8 seemed like a great way to do it. I already went through one set of 8 pretty quickly. It started giving me the under 50% flashes pretty quickly and wouldn't go into turbo mode after about a half hour of use. I tossed the batteries after about an hour of use, although my ZTS was saying "40%" on them, but I've had alkalines run so hard in other lights that the resistance built up so high that even with 40% on them they couldn't power a light well.
So anyway, I replaced all 8 with new alkalines and the light reported to me that it has 6.4 volts of energy. Shouldn't it be 12 volts with 8 new 1.5 volt alkalines in it?
