Does this require lithium batteries like other Surefire lights?

All CR123A batteries are lithium. You can buy them from Surefire but Surefire does not make batteries- Panasonic makes their batteries and sticks a red Surefire label on them. As of right now all American made CR123A cells are OEM'd by Panasonic. It's true that they're more expensive than alkaline cells but lithium is vastly superior. And they're much cheaper online! If you're comfortable shopping at Amazon you should be able to find the batteries online for around $1 each. I buy them in bulk, 25 to 50 at a time, whenever I need them. The shelf life is over ten years so save shipping and stock up! It's wise to have a few extra sets on hand anyway. All CR123A batteries are lithium.

Yes. Standard AAA batteries will not work. Had I known this would not have bought the light.

I never used the SureFire Flashlights batteries. My use was for my Home Security system which used this size and I felt with some many units, it was better and cost effective to buy rechargeable batteries rather then other regular batteries. Since I did not research batteries, but went on a friends referral, I chose these.

The lamp just requires that AAA batteries be used, the method of developing 1.5 volts/battery is irrelevant. BTW, this is the only flashlight I now buy and have a dozen of them. I also give them as gifts. They slip in my pocket for dinner out and if a restaurant is too dim to read the menu, instant light: if the table is too dark, the lamp feature creates as much ambiance as you need with it's 3 lightness settings.

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.

As someone who bought this recently I can confidently state that it does not come with lithium batteries and they are definitely not required. My guess would be seller error.

It does not. In my opinion, it is beneficial to have the versatility to be able to use standard batteries. The battery makers all have rechargeable batteries now, so you could go that route and still have the option to use alkaline or lithium off the shelf batteries in a pinch. It's just a lot easier for me to carry extra batteries (although the run time on this lamp is very long) than carry a charger and worry about a power source. Just food for thought.

Yes, it includes a rechargeable battery pack. When you receive the light, you will need to plug the pack into the circuit board. It is left disconnected so the batteries are not drained during shipping.

It does not. The batteries required are not something you can find at Walmart or the like. I purchased this charger: "Tenergy 2-Channel 18650/14500 Li-ion Battery Charger and 2 Li-ion 18650 Cylindrical 3.7V 2600mAh Rechargeable Batteries-Button Top with PCB" from Amazon. They carry an impressive charge for some time. When the brightest beam fades a bit, you will know it is nearly time for a recharge. Not long after a slight dimming, the flashlight will simply not work without battery recharge--sort of an "all-or-nothing" phenomenon. With these batteries I describe the beam as stunning, literally.

Hi Vicki.. No, the Mood Lamp does not require batteries, just an outlet for a 3 pin mains plug.Hope this helps.

No. It requires two 18650 batteries. I have been happy with these, 3400mAh ORBTRONIC 18650 PROTECTED PANASONIC Rechargeable High Performance Battery Li-ion 3.7V - for High Power Flashlights

I can't recall off hand which battery is required for this light. However, if you open the light, you will see the battery which is clearly marked with its type. A word of caution: after taking apart two separate lights, and trying to replace the batteries, I was Unable to reassemble the light correctly. It's very difficult to explain, but you must position several pieces just right, in order to reassemble. In my opinion, this light appears better served as a disposable light.

This light comes with 2 non rechargeable surefire brand CR123 batteries. You can use rechargeable CR123s, but you have something like 50 percent less battery life. Just buy a large pack of Surefire CR123 (they run cheaper than other brands) and you should be set.

Not included. Light takes 3 cr123 lithium batteries. With tube extender you can use 2 18650 rechargeable circuit protected batteries. Extender tube came with the light in the kit I purchased. Great light!

Yes, the flashlight requires three triple A (AAA) batteries. They fit into a made for the flashlight nylon holder which is then inserted into the body of the flashlight. A large black arrow is on the battery holder so they won't be inserted in the wrong way.

Yes surefire has 123a rechargeable for their flashlight. I have not use them yet but I have heard they are good for those who uses batteries often. The lite runs a long time on low setting and about 1.5 hrs on high I have not tested it. You can find find 123a. Rechargeable batteries on surefire website maybe amazon.
