I'm an elevator mechanic and often use the hardhat headlamp and those extra 20 minutes could've come in handy on many occasions when on top of an elevator in a dark shaftway.
I normally run everything on low and use the brighter functions when I need the extra light. Honestly the lower level is normally adequate for most situations.
I do the exact same thing. I almost always run all my lights on low. I'm coming up with some ideas but I am thinking about doing some testing on lights to illustrate this. At the end of the day they are your lights and people can run them as they see fit but if the objective is run time low is definitely the best route. Sometimes the extra light from the bright setting is needed and that makes it great the setting is there to use. But you gotta realize you will be sacrificing run time.
Would be interesting to actually see a run time test on low between the batteries instead of suggesting that this is where the 3.0 would be advantageous.😑
@@TalkingHandsTools I don’t disagree with your thought that low mode will result in much better performance, it would have just been nice to know how much more, that was all. Good review nonetheless.

I'm with you on that. I have an older hard hat lamp myself that I am going to play around with myself.
Thanks for the runtime test!
Really good batteries, good brand, thank you 🙏!!!!
How long does it take to full charge them ??
Just guessing I'd say in around 2 hours or so.
Same here use only on low, specially when I’m working inside chiller units..i do carry a usb 3.0 so i can swap out batteries.

I use most of my Rover lights in medium or low. On high it’s a 22% increase, which is good for me. That’s almost 2-1/2 hrs longer on low.

How do you charge?
You can charge in any of the devices with micro USB or you can get the dedicated charger.

Fair point maybe I'll get it all set up to shoot sometime and we'll see. I stand by my speculation though till we have other data to say otherwise.

I will see if I can set up the time lapse some time and see what we get. It would be fun to find out how much longer you get out of it on low.
很棒的測試
Thank you very much I enjoyed playing around with the time lapse photography on this one.
.. Charge time
I don't remember the exact time more but it should about 1/3 long from the extra capacity.
$54 for a battery... ouch...
The bare battery should be around $25. Each tool is also a charger, so a separate charger isn't necessarily required.
