Tru dat. Since then, I've just never trusted rechargeable batts. The ugly truth of it is when they go dead, they're dead. Unless you carry some spare batts with you, it could turn out bad.

Surefire is only good for draining batteries quickly.
Streamlight and Fenix are far superior in brightness, battery life, and price.

I'll admit, Streamlight is quickly becoming my favorite torch, but you won't find better customer service than Surefire. I bought a G2 once upon a time from a member here, that had some kind of ugly advertisement lazer engraved on the bezel. I called Surefire, told them about it and tried to purchase a new bezel, but instead, they just sent me a new one, free of charge.
I've got nothing but praise for both of my Streamlights. I keep one in the car and one at the house. They also weren't terribly expense compared to some other options out there, even some other Streamlights.

Streamlight and Fenix are good for the money. I also like the S&W brand lights that Cabelas or Academy carry.
Not exactly the answer to your question, but I've stopped buying alkaline batteries. They all leak, no matter what the ad says. Even brand new in the unopened package, they leak within a few years, just sitting there waiting for use.
Now I only buy Eveready brand Lithium batteries. They don't leak.
The cost is really just a smidgen above the price of alkalines.
No more ruined remote controls, flashlights, electronic this and that stuff, etc.

Ditto on my Fenix 35. I took my Surefire to their booth at Wannamaker and found the 35 was the most comparable to it. I flicked it on while looking at the 35. I said that wasn't as bright as the Surefire. He flicked the side button and POW the light was as bright then POW the light was frikken blinding. My Surefire is a backup now.
I'm a fan of Surefire and Streamlight. I have a Fenix somewhere but I can't find it. I just bought this one two weeks ago and really like it: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001S0IN46/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Pelican StealthLite 2410PL LED Flashlight with Photoluminescent Shroud, 183 Lumens, Yellow
This is my go to; by every door and in every vehicle flash light. Brightest handheld I have ever used. You're never gonna lose it because it glows in the dark. 4 AA batteries is all it takes. I know it looks like a bag of crap and a far cry from tactical but I cant think of a better light for three times the money.
