hello, can this light use flat top 18650 rechargeable batteries ?

I'm not familiar with the 18650 battery, however if it is the same size and voltage (3V) as the 123A cells that the light calls for, I would think it should work just fine.

I wouldn't recommend it, although I've heard some say yes, but I personally will just use surefire cr123.

No, 18650 won't fit but 16650 will. Flat tops should work if they are long enough. I have 16650 button tops for mine, works fine.

No, I bought a set of rechargeable batteries for mine and it ruined the batteries the guy at batteries pluss advised me you cannot use rechargeable batteries for these flashlights and it ruines the batteries!

I see someone else answered either, true flat tops WILL NOT work, it only requires a tiny part protruding tho so even the smallest buttons will work but a true flat top will not. I sell these lights modified to >5000lumens (true rating, no exaggeration) for not much more $$ than here. Contact me on budgetlightforums, user name Cereal_Killer

This flashlight USES 18650 individual cells or 26650 single battery.The price of the battery is not sure, to see whether the brand!

Yes, according to my manufacturer, an 18650 Lithium-ion battery will work in this light. Thank you for your question and your purchase. Have a great day!Don R.

The Included batteries are disposable and I don't think you can find rechargeable batteries for it either. The rechargeable A123 batteries I've seen are one followed by the other in a line, the X300 Ultra uses two batteries side by side so those rechargeable batteries wouldn't work.On a positive Note, I bought this light a long time ago and although I bought a box of extra batteries I haven't had the need to replace them.

"Yes", it is an LED Light, and "Yes" it uses replaceable 18650 battery. The light is strong to be used as a light, and it has a charger to plug right into the handle and into your wall or cigarette lighter. I like it, it has some weight to it too. It's worth the buy.

No the 18650 is too large the 14500 will work as well as 1 AA battery. I have several of these flash lights, buy it you'll love it.

No the one you have is smaller, and can also use a rechargeable 14650 lithium ion battery. Regular AA only puts out 1.5v the lithium ions put out 3.7v. It probably also uses the Cree q5 LED, this one uses a Cree XML T6 LED which is brighter. This one requires a 18650 battery, a AA will not work, although there might be a 3 AAA adapter for these. There is also another version that looks like this light but is larger and uses a 26650 which is even larger than an 18650.

The light uses 3-AAA batteries in a cartridge. I would think it's not compatible with a 18650 but am not sure.

Yes I see no problem utilizing rechargeable batteries. Hope this helps. Very useful light.

Yes , I am certain you can use rechargeable batteries in this lamp ; however in my experience rechargeable batteries are not very long lasting and will eventually not accept a charge . I stick to fresh regular D batteries and they work just fine .

It depends. If your default 18650 comes with flat tops, I would stick with flat tops, but if it has the capability to use the button ones, then you can use them too. There is no difference in performance or power output, it's all the same. Just be careful though, because if your mod doesn't take/use bottom tops now, it is very possible that the end cap won't screw on because of the space. I have seen some guys try to change to button tops, and they can't close their mod with the tiny extra space the button tops need.

With all due respect, if you do not know what a 18650 battery is, you should probably look for another flashlight that uses AA or AAA. There are a lot of possible dangers associated with this type of battery if you do not fully understand it. There is a 4 dollar flashlight on Amazon similar to this that uses a single AA battery (search for "cree flashlight" - FordEx Group is a popular one).

Per Don R. "according to the manufacturer, and 18650 Lithium-ion battery will work with this light." Is your rechargeable battery attached with a USB port? If it is, contact the seller and request their help. They may sell or send you an extension piece to your flashlight and that will enable the use of the USB rechargeable battery. As previously noted this Seller has Excellent customer service and will personally respond to your request.

As listed in the description it uses 1 - 18650 3.7v rechargeable battery. Which must be purchased separately. Some CREE lights have an adapter that allows you to use 3 - AA batteries instead. This is not one of them.

The MagLite Mag-Tac LED Flashlight - Will not accept a 18650 Battery. The MagLite Mag-Tac with the crowned bezel has a strobe function.
