Subject: Re: Did I see the light ?
Doug - Back in the old days ( old for me ) the big guns ( Gavin, Main, 
etc ) used to equalize Tekna scooters with nitrogen for deep cave 
exploration.  What they found was that the scooters held up fine but the 
batteries were being crushed and would only last a couple of dives or 
so.  Bite the bullet and buy the right light. - CCM
