Summary: The Energizer RC250BP Double Duty Rechargeable Flashlight was a major dissapointment as I purchased it as an inexpensive emergency flashlight that would kick on when power is lost. After weeks of charging we decided to test them by pulling them off the outlets and they lasted less than one hour. Subsequent tests revealed a very quick loss in power holding. Now after one year, 2 of them won't even turn on anymore (yes we've checked the bulbs). I would not reccomend this product to anyone...unless you were going to use it as a one time self-defense weapon.
