Are the internal batteries(18650 cells) replaceable?

I checked in on this and no you can't change the battery. It is welded to the panel and the flashlight.

Unfortunately, the 18650 rechargeable battery will not fit in the flashlights. Mine just arrived around a half an hour ago, and tested them with the 18650, which sticks out from the base of the flashlight about a quarter of an inch. I'm not sure if this post was referring to an older model, but it doesn't fit the current.

Yes the battery is replaceable, as long as you put the AA, rechargeable or not.

I would assume so. They are rechargeable batteries and I have not had to replace them yet.

Have to replace batteries. They do sell a charging kit so you can charge internally.

No. Gotta say, the associated batteries are unbeatable. 18650's are the best.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up for me. But I'm kinda worried that they aren't replaceable. I've seen a few batteries die completely in a state where they aren't even rechargeable anymore. I hope these lithium batteries last if you can't replace them.

The correct battery is the 18650. You could also use two CR-123 batteries instead. Either will do the job.

From what I can find, it appears that the battery is user replaceable. However, I don't know if a 6-cell battery is available.

I have the older model only with 3x AAA battery, However they do not last long, can I use the single 18650 battery in my model?

It's rechargeable, so I can't remember if you can replace the batteries or not. It charges in the base.

Need to remove the internal tab protecting the batteries OR need new batteries.

No, they are not the same battery. The 18650 is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. The cost is reasonable and, having used about 8 of this type battery, I can vouch for their longevity and utility.

I don't think it's possible to replace the internal battery. The charger isn't made to access the internal battery.

Li-ion rechargeable part #74175. Yes the battery is user replaceable. Just unscrew the tail cap and the battery will fall out when the flashlight is tipped tail down.

Internal rechargeable lithium batteries. I do not think you can access the batteries to change them.

Yes you can replace the batteries. With daily use the rechargeable batteries have lasted over 3 yrs
