I'm guessing this is just new batteries needing to break in, but not very impressive.
Hmm, what type of battery?

I have had trouble with NiMh batteries due to temperature and not holding a charge due to it being too cold where i had the charger, and not discharging enough to supply the proper current in the cold. When temperatures became more reasonable, the lifespan i get per charge seemed to increase by 20-30 percent. Lithium batteries on the other hand simply gave me a less powerful light in the cold, and more powerful in the warm, approximately same lifespan regardless. Lifespans ending in the cold always taper off more quickly.

I'm just glad i have a hub dyno on my new ride. I would often forget to charge the headlight, and boy is that scary when you cannot see a pothole, better than 5 pots of coffee though...
