I havent read all the comments here, but two nice features I saw in a review... 1) when flipping to search, the "lever" visibly stick up/out and is very obvious to others if the holder did not switch to search (assuming they know what to look for) and 2) it makes an audible sound when turned off (most prob do, but not my BD/Pieps) and actually has a confirmation button-push step to then actually power down.
Drives me nuts that my BD makes a sound when it turns on, but not off - why?!
I'm not sure you are correct on the rechargeable having move capacity.
Typically aaa size li-ion run up to 750 mah per vs up to 1200 for Alkaline or Li-FES2 disposables. This is why they are still used in many space constrained environments. The lithium disposables also have superior storage life and cold performance. On all cells the lower current delivery required of a beacon will yield much much longer cold performance vs a high drain application like lighting.

I've always held you in high esteem, snoqpass; this post just raised that bar higher.Quote:
