Tell me!!!
I was trowing some numbers into my claculator, as I know that according to the manufacturer the Nimh rechargeable pack of the MAG 951 will run for 500 hours before needing another $24.00 pack.

Now the Surefire M-6 expend $9.96 in batteries every 20 minutes or $29.88 per hour.
To run 500 hours it will spend $14.940.00 in batteries.
Yes I will say is the ultimate money spender!!!

The Surefire company sells thru their website a box of 12 batteries for $15.00 plus $5.00 shipping (that is $20.00 or $1.66 each battery)
That is where my numbers are coming from.
