Almost 36 hours, and the light is still working.

And, still using the cheap carbon zinc battery.

That surprises even me. I remember the day when
we got three or four hours of light on filament
bulbs. Some day I need to check the current draw
of this Cree emitter.


At about 9 AM (nearly 36 hours, but not quite)
the light went out. I took out the battery to
check the end voltage. Which was 0.79 volts.

I noticed a couple drops of liquid in the bottom
of the flash light. The battery turns out to be
leaking. Oddly, the flat negative end had a bit of
liquid, and the battery was blowing bubbles. Not
sure why that is. I put some paper towel under the
battery in the trash can. Rinsed out the flash light
with warm water, and left it open to dry.

One amazing flash light. Doesn't do every thing,
but it does a good job as indoor light when you
need a little light, but not much. And the battery
life is exceptional.
