[StenLight-users] How long will Stenlight last on 9v Battery backup?

[David C Niemi]

Based on watt hours, a 9V alkaline should last about a quarter as long as
the lithium ion on any setting below Turbo.  That is, 1-2 days on low,
about 6-8 hours on Medium, and 1-2 hours on High.  9V alkalines have
trouble putting out near an amp so I wouldn't recommend using Turbo much,
but then the purpose of the 9V adapter is to give you a small, readily
available emergency backup.

Any idea what capacity and max current the 9V lithiums are rated at?  They
could be an excellent backup if their internal resistance is not too high.

1.5V lithium AA primary cells should also do very well as backups, in the
6xAA holder, giving you even longer than the stock battery (but not
rechargeable and not waterproof, of course).
