On one hand you only have one cell in the new instead of two in the

much out of one battery as two in the old style.

Well, you have milked this for 8 posts now. Time to move on. Perhaps
test it against EMP. Can you speak North Korean?


And now.... I've found a use for the flashlight! I've got these
damn run down AA batteries run down to much to be useful but still
enough charge to not throw away. So a single cell 18650 battery holder
with a spacer ( bolt that happens to be the right size) the test meter
which doubles for the jumper wires... and now the AA is running the LED,
the electrons are making photons now that won't wind up the city
landfill. It's kinda like not throwing out good food but feeding it to
the neighbor's dog.

You sound as silly as me. I'm using up a 100W incandescent room bulb instead of replacing it with LEDs.
