The battery indicator has started to play up.
It should flash in two groups indicating volts and 0.1 volt.

When I tighten and loosen the end cap, the blue led flashes 12 + 7 times = 12.7v ???
Testing on my dvm shows 4.01 v . I know which one I believe.

Another battery flashes 12 + 9 times. Dvm 4.06v

Apart from this the headlamp works OK with all output levels working.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I've only had mine for about a week, but the voltage indicator seems to work properly when I've used it.

Ive had mine 3 months with no issues, I would try to raise a return for testing if you have concerns.

I got in touch with Nitecore support. They gave me a RMA number and I posted the headlamp to China without the battery and headband. I have received a replacement unit which is working OK. Turnaround was 7 weeks.
