Hey Gang,
Got a PK-PL2 on the forum here in December last year. Carried it lovingly on my keys for about 5 months. Loved it. Nice and bright. It replaced my Fenix E01 as my key light.
Had the same Energizer lithium AAA in it since I got it. It just now stopped working while I was fiddling with it at work. I figured maybe it's the battery. I pulled a spare AAA Duracell from my backpack and tried it. Still nothing. I'm going to try a new battery when I get home (and run these batts on the voltmeter) to eliminate the possibility that these are both depleted.
I must mention, a few weeks ago I had the head off and the battery out and the tail spring inside fell out. I stuck it back in and it took some finagling with a pencil to seat the spring at the bottom to get it to work again. It's been fine since then (until it just stopped working) but I wanted to mention that. Anyone experience any weird connection issue with these guys?
Will report in once I try some new batts (and dust off my Fenix), but has anyone seen any failures with this light? Anything I need to check to diagnose?
Thanks!
