I wish Novatac had a battery charge level indicator
Here is another type of Flicker,
the Novatac Low 16340 Battery Warning, its actually a flashing mode, on the lowest setting.
With 1634O detected, installing a cr123 also causes the light to step down to a flashing low mode.
That is the 16340 low battery warning being triggered by a 3v Primary cell.
Novatac battery detection is memorized.
Battery Detection is not automatic.
Here are the battery detect instructions for Novatac.
Battery Detect Reset is needed to switch between Primary batteries and 16340.

Soft-Reset – fix an unresponsive state or part of a higher level reset. If your light is working normally, turn your light on and unscrew the battery case until the light goes out, count to three and then screw the battery case back together. If your light is in an unresponsive state, remove the batteries for 2 minutes and then reinstall them. Identified by 1 second of dim light. Does not change your settings.
Battery-Detect-Reset – required to detect battery configuration changes. Perform a soft-reset but while the dim light is on, press and hold the button for 5 seconds until your light dims. Release the button when your light dims. Identified by 5 seconds of bright light followed by dim light. Does not change your settings.

How I do it
- turn on light, with full battery of your choice, 16340 or Primary
- unscrew tail cap a couple of turns, til light turns off
- Hold the button and screw tail tight (hold button because its easier than trying to catch a 1 second dim light signal), keep holding for 5 seconds of bright light, let go when the light goes dim.
done!
