Have you experienced any issues like that with the 1100? I really like the size and ease of mounting my PBSF, but wouldn't mind something with better side visibility.
I've used both the TL-1000 and TL-1100 and have had no problems with the contacts, even going over cobblestone streets.
Were you using Energizer rechargeable batteries?
