![]() Now, the main reason for this thread is that I wanted to use the battery extender on my M11R, which allowed me to use AA batteries, but more importantly, it slightly increased the length of the torch to what I perceive as a more comfortable size. I may have flown helicopters for the Army and Navy for over 20 years, but I'll be darned if I could change a rotor blade, or even swap out the simple instruments on a UH1-D.I just know if the ship is airworthy or not same with my flashlights. Mind you, I'm no battery guru, electronics technician, I'm just a layman who knows when things work, and when they don't work. Strangely, when I compared the light output of the Quantum AA with the Streamlight CR123, I could not discern any difference in output. So, I returned the two 3.6v's to BatteriesPlus, and got 8 of the new(er) Duracell Quantum's which had an instant $5.00 rebate, and for $7.00, I got 8 alkaline batteries. ![]() ![]() I quickly compared the standard AA Coppertop output vs the 3.6v's, and it was like night and day, the Duracell alkaline performed exceptionally in all 3 modes of course, when I compared the Duracell alkaline with the Streamlight CR123, the CR123 put out a discernably higher light output. Neither battery allowed me to go to the high setting on my Sunwayman M11R, and when they did go to high, it would flicker and just revert back to medium. OK, here are my objective observations on the 3.6 volt Xeno and Saft.they aren't worth a bucket of spit for what you pay.
