What is the best battery brand to use with this light?

To tell the truth, I have used both rechargeable and regular name brand batteries. We've got cold weather here for at least half the year, and the rechargeables didn't last as long. We use it on our outside porch. I bring it in when it's going to be cold, and that saves either kind of battery. I love this product!

I tend to use Duracell batteries in devices that use alkaline simply because my experience has been that they seem to last longer than others. I don't know if there is a scientific reason to use one brand over another in any specific device.

We use Costco AA's inexpensive long lasting and well rated by Consumers report.

I don't think it matters. I use the Amazon Basics Rechargeable batteries and they last for 40 hours, maybe more, of my daughter using it to light her homework table.

I have has this light for the better part of a year, and it is still on its first battery set [Duracell Alkaline, I think], and it is still going strong.

Any battery with an xlr connector should work to power the light, you just need to make sure the battery is big enough. Here is an example of one, but tons of companies make them http://www.amazon.com/Lobster-Sports-External-Battery-Pack/dp/B006BMOEGW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1411742614&sr=8-5&keywords=battery+pack+with+xlr+connector You can go to www.bhphoto.com to see a bigger selection of options. Or visit any professional camera/video store.

I recommend replacing the 1000 mAh batteries with better ones after the originals wear out. One of the comments when I bought my Moonrays was that, " 3 AA NIMH batteries of at least 2000mah capacity for each light," are better. Nickel Metal Hydride batteries aren't cheap but are worth the price.

Love the light. Contact the light manufacter & see if those style of batteries fit.

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.

honestly though I'd recommend you to save your money and buy a name brand bike light with a lithium battery. This ones been kind of a pain. definatley a tad rudimentary for my taste. an indicator light for battery life would be helpful and the battery pack is a bi&*$ to lug around if your not sporting a Wal-Mart bike with a ginormously thick frame...

I recommend the Orbtronic 3,400mAH 18650 rechargeables and the Intellicharger i4 version 2. The Orbs are quality Japanese parts batteries and all 6 of mine charge to exactly the same 4.7 voltage every time and they seem to last forever. The Orbs are also have been rated top marks and fit this flashlight well. Keeppower is the only other one that is about as good IMHO.

I use Surefire 123 batteries. You can buy them in bulk, both on Amazon and at the Surefire website.

Patrick the best battery that I have found to use is the Orbtronic 18650 3100mAh all others I have tried have failed after a couple recharges, I have recharged these batteries 14 times and they still charge up to 4.2 V and maintain brightness down to about 2.7 v. I use the light everyday and I swap batteries about once a week. Hope this helps

I have the same light and purchased the batteries in the link below. They are decent (you get what you pay for) for what I'm trying to accomplish. Protected 18650 Rechargeable Batteries Plus Charger (2pcs)

I use the Surefire A23 batteries. When I purchased, I also purchased a box of these batteries. I have not yet had to change the original set that came with the light and have used it mostly on low output, but about 1 hour total on high output. I have had the light for 2 months now.

Any brand as long as they are NiMh batteries. Just be sure that they are not old NiCads.

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

Hi Ai:According to the specs for your light, this battery should work fine.Just make sure to check that the volt and mah are compatible. You can go a little lower on volt and mah but not higher otherwise you risk damaging the light.RegardsKathy

A good battery would be Duracell or Energizer. I personally use the 12 volt adaptor and a 12 volt battery.

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.
