What is the maximum burning time using alkaline batteries?

Flashlight doesn't work at all do not buy its a scam wasted money down the drain

I do. Used a set of Duracell for 4 dives about one hour each. Still super bright

Hi Kan, I used it during two wreck dives (plane and boat) 45 minutes each time. It did not die or anything. In fact I took the batteries out for cleaning and then put them back and they still run. This will run for about 3-4 hours with no break. It's a great light for the price, just don't drop it!Michel

I haven´t used it continuously till its dead. I use sony rechargeables and have used it on two consecutive dives plus intermittent surface use and they hold fine. I would recommend the Lerway 800lm sold here too, it doesnt have a magnetic switch like this but its much brighter, and have used it on a 140 ft dive as my only light and have had no problems, it really is an amazing little light. Much much better than this one, this will do for general boat use and snorkeling in my opinion. Hope it helps.

I have only used alkaline batteries from Walgreens. I plan on installing rechargeable high capacity batteries I bought on Amazon. so far though I am impressed with MPB ( miles per battery, lol ). I will give me an update of the results in about a month.

I personally haven't experienced that, but I can say they last extremely longer than Alkaline Batteries.

4 AA. I've used rechargeables with it, but they don't seem to last as long as alkaline.

Rechargeable batteries are usually 1.2v, while alkaline are 1.5v. AA batteries hold a lower amount of energy reserves depending on what you buy (anywhere from 750 mAh to 2000 mAh). Alkaline D batteries hold a lot more, depending on the brand (up to 17,000 mAh that I have seen). The spacers would be less useful, or maybe even useless, for high energy usage, but work quite well with low energy use. I have a set so that I can use them in my lanterns during power outages, since I have a lot of AA rechargeable batteries for TV/AV remotes etc.. I don't want the bulk of lots of extra D cells.

I have to say that I don't know precisely. My experience with battery lights this bright is that the burn time at full power will not be long, something less than an hour. I have had it going full for possibly 30 minutes without a decrease that I noticed.

No. This listing says the batteries expire in March 2016. Alkalines have a 5 year shelf life, and these are at the end of their shelf life. This is why they are so reasonably priced as far as 9V batteries go.

standard alkaline batteries have lasted 80 days of continuous use so far, I don't have exprience beyound that length as yet.

This is from their installation manual: Programmable lock-hold time from 1-9 seconds (default at 3 seconds) Note: Longer lock hold time will reduce battery life when using alkaline batteries

I bought mine in October 2012. Using alkaline battery. It has started to dim a little bit. So at least it lasts for 4 months.

It all depends on how often the light is activated. In standby mode a set of alkaline cells can last for about 2 months. I use rechargeable batteries (Sanyo eneloop or equivalent) so I never have to waste money on desposable batteries. I have one unit in a busy hallway and I need to recharge my batteries once every 3 weeks of so. More frequently in winter time (because it get dark earlier).

It really makes no difference but if you use alkaline, you won't have to change them so often. Go to Costco and buy the 40 pack Duracell only if they are on sale. Otherwise, buy the 48 pack Kirkland which Consumer's rated as the longest lasting alkaline battery.

It requires 4 double A batteries to work...the packaging says alkaline battery is best. I just bought regular batteries.if u have rechargable batteries,that would be fine as well...

While alkaline batteries are less expensive I think lithium batteries are the way to go. They last much longer and withstand cold temperatures better. I shopped around because they are rather expensive and found that at least in my area walmart had the best price. I'm told that you would spend as much replacing alkaline batteries as the cost of the lithium ones.

As far as I know you must replace the batteries, not charge them. And it is poorly designed electrically/electronically to use any type of rechargeable battery. I know as I tired. It drains a rechargeable to darn quick. Alkaline are not much better, even though it was designed for those. I went back to using manual mechanical ones.

The batteries needed are two D cells, preferably alkaline. A set of batteries should give you 20-25 hours of running time.

Whatever this means straight from the manual: Battery* Battery Type AA * Details 2 x AA alkaline battery ( included )2 x AA NiMH rechargeable battery ( optional ) * Battery Life Details Photo shooting - 140 shots ( alkaline batteries )Photo shooting - 380 shots ( NiMH batteries )Playback - 7 hours ( alkaline batteries )Playback - 10 hours ( NiMH batteries )
