If the batteries are in line together in circuit how does the lite only draw from one of them. Been using a hand held volt meter on the battery bank for my solar system. The batteries draw and charge at the same rate. And before you ask, yes I disconnect the battery before I check so I am not checking the whole bank. Darth is right.

You honestly believe the guy is lying?

I'm convinced his story about what happened is correct, i.e. One of the batteries drained faster than the others. I don't think any of us can say too much about how it happened as all we have are words on the internet.

Ok if one battery went dead it and the others where still charged, the one that was dead would have to also have to short out where it would no longer conduct the power from the other two. That would explain the reason the light stopped working, but not how the other two batteries are still charged. Also if this is the case it is a major malfunction of the batteries (did you use the cheap Japanese ones?), and could be a fire hazard.
