> How do 20 "D" cells fit into THAT?
Okay, I misread it. It says it uses 20 123A Lithium batteries.
Somewhere in the body it mentions D-cells, but that's in a comparison to another flashlight.
Amazon pairs 123A Lithium in a package for 15 dollars, so 10 x 15 is a hundred and fifty bucks for batteries for this sucker. Here's the relevant paragraph on how you put them in:
Power is supplied to the Beast II by twenty 123A lithium batteries held securely inside four cylindrical chambers machined into the flashlight body. These energy-dense batteries provide a remarkable runtime of 1.5 hours for the HID lamp and 20 hours for the LED array.
Remarkable is correct, but uh not in the way I'd _want_ it to be remarkable.
$150 for 1.5 hours. How much is that in real dollars? :->
There's a new flashlight out for cops that makes the perps vomit when you shine it on them:

I think The Beast will make you puke when you have to cough up 7 grand US for the device and a hundred fifty a whack for power every hour and a half.
