Most of my p-60 18650 type flashlights pull about an amp maybe 1.10 average ..up to 1.5.To me this seems normal .
And my cheaper lights do pretty poorly as wellsomewhere between 1/3rd and 3/4ths of an amp..again to be expected ..
So why do my AA tank 566 and 568 pull about 2.15...My small sun AA zy-c55 about 2.25...and the AA eastward YJ J09 a whopping 2.75.
( no wonder i like my Eastward )
is this common of AA lights? Is this because of the driver ? are they overdriven?
None of my lights seem to be chewing up the batteries..It seems to me if something is pulling 3 amps it would kill a AA in 3 minutes ,Am I wrong ? obviously they are not that power hungry ,,
I know this isn't a simple question .BUT..does anyone have a simple answer ?
Are the numbers different at the tail vs. the emmitter ....are they higher or lower at the tail ?
The meter is right It's a couple hundred dollar fluke ..
I blame myself ....
