I'm finding brand new ones bad, and have also had them suddenly die an early death. Very frustrating. it's no long a surprise when I find them leaking. I had never seen a 9v puke it's entire guts, until now.

The taller Blizzard is supposed to work better at altitude and be brighter, while the Air King is supposed to be more efficient on lantern oil. I've not found the Blizzard to be brighter.<br /><br />Duracells losing their quality edge?

I give an LRI Photon Microlight to any of my friend's kids going into the military to help them find the latrine at night.
