Oh no! My beloved 70% is gone, all except for Disco mode... (LOL) ... very sad. I bragged several times recently about how I find 70% to be the most useful because it appears almost as though you're using turbo, only it runs a lot longer before heat becomes an issue. Well at least I know where I stand now.

Actually I'm sitting at the moment but you know what I mean.

I still think a new driver with user programmable levels like the HDS and even ZL will satisfy all/most without need to keep updating.

I still say 4 blink battery level like zebra!

I agree! for a function that is frequently accessed, battery meter should not require 8 or 10 clicks - this is for deck-changing, a much less frequently-accessed function. Also, there should not be a risk of accidentally changing the deck while trying to check battery level. IMO, this MUST BE CORRECTED. Hope others agree here.

One thing I notice about driver vnx2 is that the battery indicator isn't quite accurate if the light had more than 1 battery.
The reason for this is obvious but will it affect the low voltage protection if it's not sensing the individual battery levels?

My light has been sent 5 days ago so I got one of the last VN3s I guess:fail:

What do you mean by inscreased stability?

I LIKE :)

The only issue i have with drivervn3 is sometimes i accidentally put it in deck 2 then it auto locks and it takes me a good 4 tries to get it out of lender lock mode. a little annoying but it could just be me and not having patience lol
