BatteryLock™ technology
After a long period of non-use, you can rest assured when find yourself in need of light, BatteryLock™ has you covered!
Standard electric lights lose battery power over time even when they’re switched off because the battery is never truly disengaged from the electric contacts. With the patent pending Coleman BatteryLock™ technology and a simple twist of the head, battery loss will become a thing of the past.
err...
Most people don’t use flashlights, but for the occasional use or in an emergency. Usually they are tucked away in a drawer, and chances are the batteries have run down. Apparently, when the batteries are in constant contact with the flashlight, there is this effect called ‘ghost drain.’
Ghost battery drain causes unused batteries in flashlights to discharge faster than their shelf life indicates. Coleman’s Divide flashlights disconnect the batteries inside flashlights from their contact points, which is like putting the batteries “on the shelf” while they are not in use, so the batteries last longer.
What am I missing? Surely with something like a torch, i.e. no "stand-by" function, when it is switched off there will be no circuit to cause any drain on the batteries whatsoever. Can't help thinking there are going to be some disappointed people who have left partially discharged alkalines in one of these torches "for years".
