I use Eneloops and protected CW rechargeable lithiums now, as much as possible.
I am curious to the self-life of the charge with rechargeable lithiums and do they contain as much of a charge as standard lithiums?
My wife recently trashed her 1xAAA cell Fenix flashlight with battery leakage. The battery was in there maybe a year, with very intermittent use.
I am guessing it had an alkaline battery? I only use lithiums in my Fenix E01 and they last almost a year with mostly daily use.
