How much did they charge for the “repair”?

Nothing! All I paid was shipping from here to the factory.

As for heavier/more rugged, you’re right on both counts. They’ve been redesigning the light constantly and improving it, the changes from your old version include:

Waterproof to 100 feet, Stainless steel rivet on the bottom for ruggedness Chemkoted battery tube to resist corrosion More efficient LED and driver electronics.

Basically, it’s tougher, brighter, and lasts longer on the same battery.
