Why do you need a lithium battery if it is charges via a usb port?

The usb port charges this lithium ion battery to charge the light for while it is on your bike. Very important, unless your bike comes with a usb ;)

There is an non removable battery in it. Like other lithium batteries (i.e. non removable phone batteries) they have to be charged not replaced. I wasn't to keen on the USB charging as I would rather be able to throw a battery(ies) into the light if it goes dead. I have been pleased with the length of time my light has gone (bright flashing mode). I had an instance where I used it a few days in a row and did not plug it in. THAT was when I wished I could drop a couple batteries in it. After that, I bought a mini USB lighter plug charger. Now I can charge it up in the car BUT it does take awhile to charge so if it's dead it would be kind of pointless if you left the house to ride and only had 10 minutes of driving.

The battery arrives partially charged which is how lithium batteries are typically sold before being used. I should also add that I have used this battery through several charging cycles and have noticed that the battery discharges fairly quickly on its own without being used - within a few weeks. The OEM version of this battery holds its charge much longer.

I fully charge it, then i run it plugged in for several hours didThis all summer. Also the lithium battery is (2) batterries for7.4V @ 800 mAh . They are inside the top cover there is aTriangle security screw but it is removable.

The battery is charged when you connect to your computer with USB or it has a 110 adapter so you can plug your camera in. It doesn't have a separate battery charger.

The Lithium Ion technology is much more expensive. Check the price of a cell phone battery per pound! Much more safety circuitry is involved in the batteries and the chargers. Also much more product liability insurance costs. A Li Ion "melt down" is almost always a fire. Don't charge them unattended.

also you can use the lithium batterys on the old tools just not old chargers if i didn,t make that clear before sorry long day

Lithium batteries hold their charge for months. You do not need to leave it on the charger. This battery size will recharge within 15 minutes. The charger is smart, it will not attempt to continuously charge it when it does not need to. Leaving it on the charger will not hurt, but due to possible liability they tell you not to, since product failure with this much power potential can start a fire (very unlikely, but possible).

No. The usb is for using the batteries to charge small devices like a phone.

if the battery charger plugs in to a USB port, it has it's own charging circuit to control what goes to the batteries. Any USB port will charge them properly so long as the device with the USB port is capable of putting out at least as much amperage as the item plugged in requires. the 2A and 1A ratings on the USB ports are MAX ratings. What is plugged in will only draw what it needs.

I'm not an expert but I'm 90% sure a you need a special charger for Lithium batteries. Remember what happened to that Boen jet. :)

I don't know about a lithium battery. We have it on our Harley battery what ever that is. Sorry I wasn't more helpful.

This tool has a lithium battery, which will hold a charge for several months without use. It is recommended that the lithium battery is NOT to be left on the plugged-in battery charger for storage; rather, once it has been charged, it should be removed from the charger & stored on the tool itself or some other place. It's also recommended that lithium batteries should not be subjected to freezing temperatures, so if you live in a cold climate area, the battery should be brought inside & stored in a room-temperature environment.

I commonly charge two 36v lead batteries at the same time using separate electrical outlets. I don't know anything about charging lithium batteries.

The lithium batteries need to be fully charged before any type of use. The shutoff characteristics of ALL lithium rechargeable batteries are very consistent. Lithium batteries have a very flat output curve and when the low voltage point hits, they have protection circuitry that turns off the battery to prevent damage to the battery. Summary: ALL NEW Lithium batteries require a FULL charge before ANY use.

It is rechargable, uses it's own USB cord and an adapter for itself so you will need a charging block or an available USB to charge. Will last as long as your typical Lithium-Ion battery will, but can be used for multiple phone charges before it needs to be recharged so it will last a while especially if only used for emergencies and long trips when you can't charge your phone or other device normally.

If the voltage is close to 6 volts. I use 2 lithium ion cells which I got out of an old laptop battery and it works great plus it's very portable. However you need a charger.
