      Io uso la mia Edc35 tutte le notti per circa mezz'ora ora di passeggiata col cane e l'ho caricata dopo circa un mese (6000mah di batteria costituiscono una capacità enorme). Fatti due conti e comprenderai che se consideriamo le 300 ricariche di durata minima ottimale che hai indicato mi durerà 300 mesi (25 anni). Magari la userò di più alcune volte? Facciamo 20-15 anni. Vogliamo proprio esagerare e fare un'ipotesi estrema, dove la uso 1-1,5 ore al giorno FISSE per anni, cosa improbabile? 12-8 anni (di media, 10 anni). Insomma: la betteria non durerà meno dei led, e “invecchierà” benissimo con essi.
      Il punto è che però queste indicazioni - con tanto di dimostrazioni tecniche - dovrebbe fornirle spontaneamente Nitecore, anzi dovrebbe esibirle con vanto invece di lasciar germogliare i motivati sospetti di tantissimi potenziali clienti.

      Read the instructions before buying the ink, please!
      The same happen with the Nitecore EDC series of flashlights. People see them, people like them, people buy them.
      After having received them, and operated them, people attempt to replace the battery, when they realise how strong their bias and their pre-assumptions are.
      Then they return the flashlight to Amazon because they feel they have been cheated.

      I couldn't agree more! I've already criticised this in a comment under a video about a comparison of the Nitecore MH12 Pro and the Fenix PD36R V2.0. The turbo on the MH12 Pro only lasts 23 s to 30 s, before it steps down from 3300 lm to 1200 lm. The PD36R V2.0 with only 1700 lm on the other hand will turbo for more than a minute and have such a shallow decline, that it will stay brighter for almost 30 minutes. I wish Nitecore would offer diagrams about the actual light output, as Fenix does.

      @@smug_cat1 Yes, turbo with a step-down makes sense, but 15 s seems a bit too short in my opinion, even for just looking at something at distance. With a more conservative light output of maybe 4000 lm, they could have potentially increased the turbo duration to 60 s, while still being bright enough, but instead it will step down to 1300 lm. I guess bigger numbers are just better for marketing.

      @@NashiHeartSoulSpirit I think @trevorstepoo8838 means if the cell reaches the end of its lifetime. Lithium-Ion batteries typically last 300 to 800 charge cycles, while the emitter is typically rated for 50,000 hours. So if you plan on using the light for several hours every night, you can expect a lifetime of maybe two years, while the emitter will and everything else will still be in a very good condition. And if you always charge it to 100%, expect the battery to deteriorate even faster. And all because they didn't make the battery removable.
      I think that's just wasteful and Nitecore should take some responsibility. The savings in space and weight are minuscule on a light this size, and I seriously doubt that Nitecore will take back and recycle these lights, let alone replace batteries. They will just end up in landfill, people will accept that flashlights are now disposable and Nitecore will be able to sell replacements sooner.
