Connect 2 of those batteries in series and you'll have 16.8 Volts. Now try using that to get your car started...

That might be extremely helpful if I were trying to start a car...
I've received a reply from the good folks at stenlight. Their only suggestion is to upgrade the leds. They have not suggested that the battery is the issue. Does anyone here have any experience with having their sten upgraded?

One led is fairly bright, the other about half as bright. It is consistent through all four settings. According to the stenlight specs it should run for at least a couple of minutes on turbo with a fresh 9 volt battery. The problem is in the lamp itself. Anyone else seen this problem?
