Left the light on, last night. On purpose.
12 hours later, the light is plenty bright.
Original carbon zinc battery, in use.

You left a torch on all night without using a rechargeable battery?


Yes, that is correct. The battery in question
is a carbon zinc D cell, worth about 35 cents.
It will self discharge in about a year, and
then I can put it in the trash without getting
any use out of it.

This is unusual. With the usage time you got, I assume it's an LED torch. D cells haven't been around for ages. LED torches tend to take AA or the Lithium Ion equivalent. Is this a home made torch or a conversion?
