I have noticed for some time that my Trek-2 has a little pellet in it. After reading all the posts around here I have gathered that this is some kind of scrubber which is supposed to remove hydrogen gases that can accumulate in very water-tight flashlights.
What I dont understand is just how bad a problem is this? Are these flashlights capable of exploding and causing bodily injury if the catalyst is removed? Or is the danger simply that you could ruin your flashlight? Or are the gasses simply toxic and need to be removed for that reason? Also does the pellet need to be replaced periodically? I dont imagine it would last forever.
