The discarded flashlight
Nigel Evans:
Does anyone know the case files well enough to answer this question? :-"Was the discarded flashlight (the one found some way down the slope) tested to determine if it worked correctly with it's batteries replaced and were the batteries as found tested to determine if they still had charge?"
I've only seen reference to it being found switched on. It's possible of course that it just failed and was discarded.

8f I remember. I think there is a discrepancy. Somewhere it says that the flashlight 450m from the tent was found switched off and was working when the searchers found it. Cant remember where I read it, but I think it was your good sel who pointed me toward the comment. Kind of leaves us with some confusion. Its potentially an important point though.

Star men, the flashlight 450m below the tent was ON and with dead battery.

The other one that was found beside the tent was OFF and in working order when turned ON

And looks like there was few more flashlights inside the tent.

Got this - "No results yielded, except that 100 m below the tent an electric flashlight was found switched on and out of battery belonging to someone from the dead group." - https://dyatlovpass.com/case-files-209-220?rbid=17743
But no mention of testing to confirm it's status.

Yes, that is my understanding too. But I thought I had seen something that contradicted this. I will have a dig if I get some time.
