Olight addressed my issues, though delay but they did come through
Well after some frustrating wait for reply from Olight, they finally responded. I guess there was a long holiday in China but they should have notified customers with auto response to indicate this. Olight offered to replace the original batteries that had issues, that I had tried to modified but failed. I ended tossing the batteries in the garbage. Olight offered free replacements. I appreciated their effort to correct this situation. I will continue to buy their products as they are very good quality.
