Should have been replaced under warranty!
"As far as I can tell, the replacement ARB-L21-5000 V2.0 is fine however I was very disappointed that the original battery that shipped with my PD36R PRO failed after slightly more than a year. I purchased two units one in June 2025 and one in August 2025. I was told that the warranty on the battery was only one year so I ordered this replacement. Now I see that the same flashlight is being sold with an extra battery. My flashlight was hardly used when I noticed the failure. The whole episode leaves a sour taste regarding Fenix."
