Just joined up here @CPF, hello all!
I'm trying to figure out if there is a problem with my OLight S10. It takes CR/RCR123 cells and seems to work OK on all but the highest output (400lm), on high it runs for about 45 seconds then starts to blink very fast like it's not getting enough power from the battery. If I take out the battery and check the voltage in the charger it will still show approx 4 volts. It is a LIon cell and I know they have a much lower capacity the primaries but can the cell be getting old/bad and still charge up to 4.2v ? I'll need the get some more batteries to see if the light will stay running in Hi mode with new batteries, or there could be a problem with the light.
Any thoughts?
