I just got that 10-pak $29.99 deal from ThruNite……
https://thrunite.com/bss-ti2-keychain-light-pack-10pcs/
Every one of them doesn’t work on new Eneloops. Will only work on AAA Alkalines. 
Did they change something on these by any chance? Manual sez it’ll work at 0.9V - 3V. LED supposedly is a CREE XTE. VF shouldn’t be an issue.
If anyone else has this issue I bet ThruNite’s gonna hear about it. Glad I only bought one pak if this is reality.
Bought a bunch of the screamin’ deal Ti3’s that were on sale for $5.95. Like it lots. :money_mouth_face: :+1:
PS. Just jumped the head and the Eneloop now works. Soooooo….something’s probably blocking the positive Eneloop anode from making contact. Looking at the driver’s chips, etc., some of them look like they could be set up too close to the driver’s positive contact nub. My caliper’s measure approx. 3.74mm width on the positive Eneloop anode. On a standard Alkaline it measures approx. 3.45mm.
Hmmmmm……me thinks the Eneloop’s wider anode doesn’t clear something on the driver. Shheeeeiiitt. Well guess I’ll havta solder a mini spring on the driver positive now and see if that’ll work. Shouldn’t even havta be writin’ this of course. :disguised_face: :rage:
PSS. On two of these I rotated the head a little ‘extra’ to see if that would work. Same deal, nada. Noticed that the black chip with a capital “F” imprinted on its top had the nearest corner to the driver’s positive nub chipped off some. Enough that I can see the tiny wound wiring in it. This black chip is the largest one on the driver.
WHICH begs to question WHY IN HE*LL wood ThruNite design this driver so that the chip, capacitors, etc, are FACING the positive on the batt?? The Ti3 has the typical driver set-up where the driver positive side is blank - except of course for the spring, brass nub, plate, whatever on other designs.
It’s almost as if the driver manufacturer maybe accidentally reversed things butt I doubt that even batch-wise. Plus if the batt (most likely an alky leaks) the fluids are gonna go right into the driver’s components. INSTANT TOASTVILLE.
Brilliant. :laughing: :person_facepalming:
PSSS. Well they’re hearing about it. Just sent CS an e-mail. :laughing: 
PSSSS. Eneloop AAAs have a straight wall positive anode plus they’re wider as noted above. Alkaline AAAs on the other hand have a ‘tapered’ positive anode or ‘arrow shaped’ in a general macro sense. Compare the two and you’ll see the immediate difference. Well watt this means for at least the Ti2’s I received is that ThruNite didn’t compensate clearance-wise on at least one of the driver components so basically the twisty head won’t allow the driver’s negative ring make contact with the tube’s contact surface. No worky. This is DOA.
Anyhow just keep this in mind if ya should ever get driver chips on the wrong side of the equation vis a vis an Eneloops positive anode interfering with them. Obviously if this is the case for all Ti2’s they didn’t test them with Eneloops either. The chips right next to the driver positive nub are dam close to its edge so there we go.
Maybe no one bought this deal besides me and if anybody did they’re happy as a pig in a blanket only using alkalines. Butt I hate alky’s. :laughing: So I have an unresolvable problem here Houston, over.
