I had a rather curious situation last night and I thought I'd seek the wisdom of others on this.
My FourSevens QPA (XP-G) started behaving weirdly last night (would completely power off when I tried to switch modes and refuse to restart), after going through the FourSevens FAQ for intermittently operating Quarks I tracked the problem down to the Battery: a rechargeable NiMH. I was hesitant to accept that it might be the battery since it had only shortly before been capable of running on Med and High. Typically the light will skip high and then Med when the battery starts to get low.
What made the matter interesting was that my backup a Fenix E11 was about to run for a measured hour and 15 minutes on the same battery. It ran for most of that time on about moonlight mode and for perhaps the last 5 minutes it was below moonlight.
Anyone have any idea as to why the QPA would leave power in the battery where the Fenix was able to keep running on the same source?
