Surefire battery failure?

[adamsredlines]

Light was ordered through Sig Sauer, so I can only assume it's legit.
Batteries were bought on (and fulfilled by) Amazon.

I'm honestly not sure what we are looking at. Theres crap on the battery, it appears to be flattened with some stuff from under the label looking like its wanting to squish out. I'd say theres 1k rounds on that pair which I would think should be a non-issue.

I sent them an email, I'm not sure what if any resolution I expect but I think they should know they had a failure of some sort.
I've got 4 of their lights and exclusively use their batteries and this is a first.

I've moved away from Surefire. I've purchased a few of their products because they were supposed to be the best, but I've been very disappointed in the lumen output as well as battery life.
They seem to work great for about 20 minutes, then they're no better than a walmart junk light.

Streamlight, Fenix and Crimson trace have not let me down. Screw Surefire and their overpriced hype.

At the very least, I'd ask them what I should monitor to make sure it didn't do any damage to the light.

Streamlight has been fair(had several switch failures and break) for me up until recently they seem to have improved, older stuff seems to be crap.
I've had several Fenix and good service from them AND, they have a shop in Broken Arrow!!


Wow! I've been using Surefire batteries for about 20 years and I have never seen one look like that, also have about dozen surefire lights, handheld and weapon.
Let us know if they reply

I'd sure keep a close eye on the next set.
