Dive light batteries dying at 120 feet taught me a hard lesson about cheap lithium cells
I swapped in those discount 3.7V batteries from a random seller for my primary light, and when it flickered out during a wreck penetration in Lake Michigan last month, I realized the voltage sag under load was way worse than anything I'd ever seen from the name brand packs, so does anyone else test their batteries with a load meter before every surface supply dive or am I just paranoid now?

Used to laugh at guys who load tested every pack. Thought it was overkill. Had a cell crap out on me at 90 feet and now I'm the guy with the meter.
