Product Description
The HYBRID CONCEPT construction allows Petzl HYBRID headlamps to run on either the CORE rechargeable battery or three AAA/LR03 batteries, without an adapter. A practical and flexible solution that allows the user to take advantage of each of these energy sources, depending on usage.
Brightness
When you turn on the lamp, the brightness is about the same with standard batteries or the CORE battery. The brightness difference at switch-on is around 10% maximum.
Burn time
The rated burn time for the CORE rechargeable battery is less than with standard batteries due to a different discharge mode.
Self-discharge
Self-discharge is very low for the CORE rechargeable battery; it is negligible for a standard battery.
Usage in cold conditions
Standard batteries, like the CORE rechargeable battery, are sensitive to cold below 0° C. Between 0° and -20° C, burn time can be reduced by up to 50 %.
