Have had similar experiences with various devices that use cells in series. One will be drained, the others might still be good.
In the 123 cell world, I've squeezed 3 lifetimes out of a set of SureFires M3 (3 cells) pitched one when it went dim E2D (2 cells) pitched a second when it went dim E1B (1 cell) - useful for testing cells too Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I read somewhere that you shouldn't mix used batteries and new batteries. True? |

True. ESPECIALLY with primary lithium batteries like the CR123 and the Energizer Lithium AA L-91. Bad things can happen. Like fires and/or exploding batteries. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I paid about $1.50 a piece for Streamlights on Amazon.
ETA - the added shipping doubles the price of the Cheap 123 deal unless you buy enough to get free shipping. |
