Hi there, out of curiosity, is your “PMHH21” still working?
If yes, does it suffer from the following?

1. Random shut downs
2. Flickering when held in a specific position
3. At times, does not respond to the “on” button
   I ask the above as I have 3 of the PMZH21’ (400 lumens) and have the same slanted positive terminals as shown in your picture above.
   The Panasonic batteries per the picture is quite a battery, it is like steroids back in the day as it burned out many of my torchlights, granted they did make the incandescent bulbs shine brighter, any issues with the use of the Panasonic’ so far?
   Hope to hear from you soon.
   Thank you and warm regards.

This is an absolute monster.
Does your tail cap “grind” the negative side of the batteries and even in some cases cut them?

So sorry for late reply…

1. Nope. No random shut down on mine.
2. No flickering either except when battery is really low in juice. That’s when the low frequency PWM kicks-in… very annoying…
3. Yes, I did experienced it but only on the 400 lumens version that it does not respond to the ON click in rare occasion, I can’t reliably simulate it. It happens very intermittently…
4. No issues with the Panasonic batteries, I’ve exhaust 5 sets of them in the 300 lumens version and 3 sets in the 400 lumens.
5. The tailcap does grind the negative side of the batteries, but it doesn’t “cut” them. This is the main reason I don’t use NiMH rechargeable in these lights.
