Sometimes you "Need" a flashlight. Other times, the flashlight has certain percs, that makes you need it.... And I'm a flashlight guy so.... (Also work nights)
@chestersedc 59 минут бұрын
@Gurra_Gforce Absolutely, having the right flashlight can make all the difference! The Baton 4 has some features that make it a must-have for me. I like it when I travel, as the battery bank features are handy and keep my backpack a little lighter. What is your favorite light?

Honest question, if you get the leak on your skin by accident when taking these batteries out, does it hurt you at all? I understand wash hands of course, but does it hurt you just by touching your skin by accident?
@chestersedc 18 күн бұрын
@Deetroiter, the white crud is Potassium Carbonate. It is an irritant. I have never had it hurt when on my hands, but if you have a cut or get it in your eyes, you won't be having a good day. Definitely wash your hands if you come in contact with it. Thanks for watching!
@Deetroiter 18 күн бұрын
@@chestersedc thank you for the advice and insight! I’ve had some AA batteries leak where it was more like slight wetness or so, not sure what that is. Is that also the potassium that just hasn’t dried yet?
@chestersedc 18 күн бұрын
The liquid inside an alkaline battery is potassium hydroxide, it is the electrolyte in the alkaline battery. When the liquid leaks out it reacts with the CO2 in the air to form Potassium Carbonate. Potassium hydroxide is an alkaline and I think it is a little worse before it crystalizes as it has a tendency to spread more since it is a liquid. Definably wash your hands and clean anything it got on.

I agree with a commenter below, it's when they took mercury out of the batteries that they started to leak like it was 1967 again. Yes, I am that old, and batteries used to leak terribly in the 60s. Then I lived through a period when batteries didn't leak very often at all. Now we are back to the days of crappy, leaky batteries again. And even though many of you say Energizer doesn't leak, I had so much trouble with energizers and Ray-o-Vacs leaking that I went to Duracell, only to find they are just as bad. My clocks have been running on 20 year old Energizer rechargeables for a long time, but I need alkalines to cover the days when they are recharging. The only thing with disposable lithium batteries is the wastage of rare earth metals. Better to go rechargeable.

The fact that it can run on full power from the charger is definitely overlooked, it's the first review that pointed it out! Definitely increases the light's usefulness as a night light or prolonged use as a signaling light. My Fenix E03R only runs the moonlight and a low mode when connected to charger as it probably doesn't bypass the battery.

Have been using a Lumintop Tool AAA for years, but I love the dual fuel nature of this one, the great clip, and the 2 very useful brightness modes. I also have a Lumintop Tool AA which is also NiMH/14400 and I've liked the options there, but I think the pocket friendliness of a AAA light is hard to beat.
