Storing batteries in a hot car
I left a protected lithium ion, 2 lithium, and a nimh rechargeable battery in my trunk. Through an entire desert summer to see what happened.
Do they last? Will a lithium-ion survive in the heat? What about a simple nimh battery?

Carried quite a bit since I got it. Short talk on what it comes with and WHY it's a practical light to carry.
I did forget to mention that it DOES have a lockout mode to prevent accidental turn ons.

A bit larger than I would like for EDC pocket carry, but it's certainly manageable. Nice mode spread. High output. Good run times.
