Yep I will not use Duracell! Ruined more of my **** than I can count. Use Enerzier now and no problems.I have a bunch of mag lights, but their warrantee is crap, they want more to ship them back, than the light costs.
I have two that are junk status now, that were not that old, damn Duracell batteries leaked and ruined them.
I have since switched to everedy battery's and have had no issues.
I have also had good luck with the cheap harbor freight lights, their quantum series lights just plain work and are cheap.
Duracell. I had a lot of issues with Duracell's that came in Maglites. Their warranty doesn't cover damage caused by battery damage. Good luck collecting from Duracell. LOLI have a bunch of mag lights, but their warrantee is crap, they want more to ship them back, than the light costs.

I sold Energizer's for about 30 years after dealing with Duracell damage.Yep I will not use Duracell! Ruined more of my **** than I can count. Use Enerzier now and no problems.
I bought one for my kids camp week. He said it rocked! I'm gonna steal it back for my workbelt. Get some Enloop or Maha NiMH rechargeable AAA batteries for it, they last 3X longer in that was well as in digital cameras. I have a DSLR that takes 4 AA's and alkaline give me about 80 shots while NiMH give me ~300. Carbon zinc AA's give me about 20! As soon as you take a pic the battery indicator goes to 1/2! Only thing carbons are good for are low drain TV remotes nowadays.For a pocket lite, I found this at HF a couple weeks ago. Little bastard is bright. Hope it holds up. I may buy one or two more These are AAA alkaline
65 Lumen Pocket Flashlight

I recently bought a 2 cell AAA mini mag LED after not having one for over 10 years. I used to carry them when I worked HVAC/R and through the time at the Motorola shopOther than maglights if had the same one for probably 20 years and all I have ever had to do to it is change the batteries and the bulb twice.
Those are some bulky lights. I use a Streamlight pocket led light. STL-66122
