Hi all,
I bought this flashlight: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32825338582.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dQVynzo
and with the battery fully charged and the flashlight not in use the battry dies in around 20 days.
I don’t know how to find where the leak comes from… Maybe is the dimmer?
You have any experience with this kind of issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot.
Filip

Parasitic drain, all magnetic switch suffer. Just unscrew tailcap a little when you are outside of water:-)
Balls, wrote a whole reply, hit [preview] to edit it but never [save]…
Anyway, that’s normal.
See post #2 from here Ultrafire DV-S9 diving light? .
The Hall-effect sensor drains about 10mA, so if using, say, a 5000mAH cell like my blue-wrapped LKs, that’s
5000mAH / 10mA = 500H
or about 20-21 days, spot on.
They lock out with a fractional-turn of the tailcap, so that’s what I do ’til I need to use it.
Hey zeremefico and Lightbringer,
Thanks for your answers! I will unscrew the tailcap and that’s all.
Thanks a lot.
No worries… enjoy!
