Using the original battery I was on Main 2 mode (165lm) for about 2-3 hours. Just before I went to bed I turned it to Turbo 2 mode for about 5 seconds to take a look at the surrounding area and turned it off. When I went to bed in about 10 mins I noted flashlight is extremely hot which was strange as it was about 3 o'clock in the morning - quite cold at 1300m above sea level at this time (maybe around 14-15 degrees Celsius). I tried to turn it back on - I couldn't. Then I figured something's wrong and pulled out the battery. Unnecessary to explain the horrible smell that came out with it. Tried with another battery on the next day - no joy. I don't think I'll ever touch these Armytek batteries ever again and you should put a notice on your v3 Pro listing they are dangerous to use. Flashlight protection circuits unfortunately couldn't save it.

In the meantime I manage to catch on video the problem on the other flashlight that I have. Pulling the battery out fixed the problem this time but it doesn't always work. Here it is:

Both flashlights less than 2 years old. Used no more than 50 hours each. Bought from NKON, highly doubt there will be issues replacing them.
