I had a couple of maglites around the house for years. Never thought of getting batteries because they only last about two or three months sitting and then only about a few hours of actual use as lights. So they sat empty of batteries for years.
Heard of the led conversion and now my lights last forever and double as a security bat. Never thought of getting lithium batteries for them ... once I do that they'll be flashlights for life.
And to think I was just going to throw them away because I had given up on them ever being useful.
