Hello, I understand it uses 2 batteries in parallel. Are they disconnected from each other (not from LED) when the light is turned off?

No the batteries are connected properly and charged. The button will not click down because it was compromised by the water/mud.

It came with two separate batteries, not joined. It can also work with one battery.

Tested it with LED lights. The only issue is it will not Turn OFF LED lights alone. If I put a 40W inc lamp together with LED lights controlled by the dimmer, it works ok. That suggests that it needs some minimal load to turn off.

Manufacturer indicated the design was changed so batteries no longer run down when unit looks like it is off. This change happened May 2015. Also, the unit has two modes. If you turn it on and just tap the power button it goes through the cycle of different light patterns. You could leave it in this mode and batteries most likely will run down. If you hold power button down until lights go out, and tapping the button does not change light patterns, then the unit is really off. This is what I learned from manufacturer and from testing the unit.

It is not stated. The device requires 2 pieces of 1.2Vsc rechargeable batteries. It outputs to 3 LEDs. Based on average consumption of each LED, few ten mA with 0.7V.For further info, once the device is turned on, it alights for a period. To turn it on again, switch it to off then on.

Even if it were actually "lit" by LED, the amount of power used by a single, tiny LED is NOT enough to drain the batteries in any measurable period of time. We're talking at most, a few milliwatts (thousandths of a watt).

The light shuts off by itself and comes on by itself when there is movement. There is a high and low intensity switch. Hope it helps.

Yes, just switch the light off (switch is underneath) and it will keep turning. And if you are using the battery option, mine has been turning for several weeks, without the lights, on just one battery. I really love this!

Mine does the same. It is just to indicate a full charge and will turn off eventually. The power used to use that LED is so minimal it has little to no effect on the power stations battery.

it turns on and off by depressing the end of the light. but, the brightness is not as good as a wired lite and it really sucks up the battery juice, can use about 8 hours before it starts to dim.

Ther only one LED but may have three light settings. There is only one 18650 battery that powers the light. The battries are from 1800-4100mah.

yes the light stays on if, plugged in, when you shut the car off the light goes off, so while you are driving the light is so small and uses so little power , the battery is not affected

When the battery is fully charged the light will turn blue,it won't shut off. You have to take out the battery when its blue. Again the Light does not shut off. The only way to shut it off,if you take out the battery.

Sorry for getting back to you very late...I plugged the AC adapter into the light and it did turn on, but this does not say that it is running off the adapter and not just the battery. I would suspect it was running off the adapter. I could experiment and drain the battery then do this again. I modified my light by replacing the internal 750mAh battery with two external 2000 mAh batteries. Each will keep the light going for about 1:45 mins for a total of about 4 hrs of use. That is good for my long ghost hunts.

I actually think this is an electronic switch that does not break the circuit. I have these and also the 3 pack of 250 lumen lights. One of the switches on those flashlights when out and I had to replace with a single setting click switch that broke the circuit (harvested the switch from a chepo led flashlight). So while Mark is correct, there is a switch, but it is not a physical open closed switch, it is an electronic switch with a small circuit board in the end cap. Same with the smaller 250 lumen versions. But FYI, I haven't experienced any of the passive battery drain on either of my duracell 500 lumen lights.

I didn't, there only lit when the switch is on. I have one switch that turns my LED's on and one switch that turns my amplifier on for my music on the trails. the lit light just reminds me to shut it off so I don't run the battery down on accident in the middle of nowhere

The T613-BNC I have, has a ON/OFF switch the if OFF in one position and On with three outputs in the ON position. Are you sure that if you slide the switch to the right the light should go out. Unplugging the cables would still cause the light to stay on and thus drain the batteries.

Each of the two lights is powered by two CR1620 lithium button cells. A light will give close to 10 hours service off one set of batteries before it begins to gradually dim. The bad news is that it is extremely hard to replace the cells. It may be easier to throw the thing away and start over when the batteries run down. BTW, you don't really need to use both lights at once because you can only use one eye at a time (see the reviews for more info). Your question has prompted me to try to actually change the cells. After I sort out a procedure, I'll add it to my review, which is under the name "The Experimentalist." Each of the two lights is powered by two CR1620 lithium button cells.
