So I have these four lights:
-Fenix PD32 (used infrequently and been sitting on the shelf for a few years)
-Fenix PD25 (used semi-frequently for the last few years)
-Nitecore MT1C (brand new, barely used)
-Nitecore P05 (brand new barely used)
I also have have about a dozen cr123 batteries, most have been unused sitting on the shelf for a few years, two tenergy recharchables and a bunch of assorted primaries from different manufacturers.
I was changing the battery on the P05 and noticed the first battery I tried didn't work, so tried another and eventually went through all of them and non of them were working. Tried all these batteries in these four lights (to see if it was the batteries or the light that was faulty). Sometimes I'll put a battery in and it will work, but if I take it out and put it back in it won't work, but later I'll try the same battery and it will work. Thinking it was the batteries that were faulty I went out and bought two new primaries and a Fenix brand rc123, same results with these. Tested all these batteries with a Surefire E1L, Maglite Magtac , Fenix PD35 and an Elzetta Alpha and they seems to work fine. I also tried the batteries in a brand new P05 that I had still in the package and they all worked except for two of them. They all worked in the Elzetta. Which left me even more confused by all this.
Is it possible that these four lights all crapped out on me at he same time?
