Delighted with my recently received TM16GT, however it does seem to have a slight issue with its built in voltage/power measuring and I wondered if anybody else had the same.

Fed the torch with freshly charged 18650B protected and have noticed that when the battery compartment is screwed down, the light reports anywhere between 3.8 and 4.0 volts- likewise the power indicator flashes 2 or 3 times - in all instances this has been following fresh battery install.

After recharging the batteries last night to 4.2v, the torch indicated 3.8v and flashed twice when mode button pressed from off. I removed the batteries today and using Fluke 114, tested individually they're all showing 4.18v (plus or minus 0.005v) and 16.71v when tested in series, so am presuming it isn't an issue with the batteries.
