I switched from regular atties to strictly LR atties a few weeks ago and have noticed dramatically altered battery life. By the end of the work day my battery is on the weak side and not performing like it should. I went ahead and ordered two more batteries on a whim. What's ya'lls opinion? Is it the LR atties killing the battery quicker or are my batteries giving out?(They are about 6 months old if that)......I appreciate the input!!!!
 
also there is a specific brand of 18650 (the red ultrafire protected 3.7v) which is a low drain battery. its battery life will be decreased even further if you are putting a high amp drain on it. not sure of the power draw on a LR atty, but i would think it would be less than 2A, which seems to be where the power curve drops.
