Greetings to all. I just need to compare other peoples experiences with these batteries and being used on the specific flashlight (or similar) . Right now, although I am very impressed with the power of this flashlight I am very disappointed with the running time.
I thought I'd buy some of the best batteries on the market (Panasonic 3400mah) and also I have some LG2600mah with no PCB for back-up. You are probably wondering what results I am getting right? well with the NRC's about 30 minutes on turbo and less than 25 mins with the LG's. that's right, around 30 mins instead of the 1h & 15 mins that the manufacturer claims!! its also very difficult to test the flashlight on turbo mode due to the heat. it gets really hot!! I think 10 mins at a time is more than enough. I didn't get at 15 mins continuous running time because I want to take care of my flashlight ( I guess that the 150 euros + that I paid for it is a constant reminder of how careful I have to be with it).....
As you would expect all the other modes, high and medium (who cares about low mode right? ) have significantly reduced running times. I didn't have much time to test it more to get exact figures because I sent it to China for repairs (bad led needs replacement). I am trying to convince them that there is a problem with the electronics and that I would prefer I replacement.
I mean, its not possible that you could get these numbers with the Panasonic batteries due to them having a PCB? I believe that the LG's with no PCB prove this.
And if its a problem with the batteries please tell me what batteries will let me have more than 1h and 15 mins runtime so I cant get them !!!
