Can a 18650 battery be used instead of 3AAA batteries in this light?

the use of a 18650 battery requires a separate extension piece to accommodate the 18650s length, the one I acquired and works with this flashlight to be able to use the 18650 battery; http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DAXPGNK

I dont think so, i think the light has a plastic rotary holder for the 3 batteries. look into lights that take 1 aa and they could be compatible.

I have this light and can use one, two or three of the 26650 batteries in it. The flashlight handle unscrews in two locations along the handle. Hope this helps.

yes you can since the maximum output power of this specific battery is = 125 x 11.1 = 1387.5 W = 1.38 kW and since the light you chose is operating on 12V so you are good to go :)and i think this will give your light something between 40-50 minutes of continues discharging until the battery reaches 9.6V which is the minimum voltage you can reach without harming the battery

If you use rechargable CR123A batteries you absolutely have to make sure they are the 3 volt ones and not the 3.7 because the higher voltage adds up and can destroy the light. So only use 3 volt batteries. This light is an awesome light and great for a lot of applications with low and high mode.

AA batteries will not work with this light. A single 18650 battery is what is recommended preferably a Panasonic or Tenergy 18650....most of the 18650 batteries sold are junk like ulrafire and trustfire.This is the one you need for your AA batteries--> UltraFire 7w 300lm Mini Cree Led Flashlight Torch Adjustable Focus Zoom Light Lamp

Yes you can. I found the higher mAh,the longer the light lasts. I use the 4500 mAh. This light is used daily these higher bats last me a week between charges.

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.

You should have no problems with that battery. I hooked up the light to a 12V supply I have. The light uses 0.8A.

No, you can use either a lithium rechargeable 18650 battery or the old-skool 2 cr123a's. the single battery is a superior and cost effective option. It has a killer runtime and 12.4 watt hours capacity-about the same as four rechargeable AA's. CR123 is a thing of the past with the awesome new lithiums.

18650 DOES NOT fit (Raj from Chicago is CORRECT). 14500 battery is the rechargeable battery that fits these lights.

Jared, I use the 3-Volt 18650 batteries in just about every flashlight and Laser I own. Never had a problem with them. Just make sure you use the right charger designed for them, to re-charge!

Yes. The battery is an 18650 flat top. It can be replaced. But the light must be disassembled. And there is some soldering involved.

I use the 18650 batteries , And yes I do believe there is a difference between the two batteries I think its brighter with the 18650

I believe so. My Fenix lights use either 2, cr123 or 1, 18650. One thing to note is that cr123s's are 3V, and 18650's are 3.7V, not sure if your light is able to run on higher voltage?

Yes I use a Nuon 18650 2600 mAh and 3.6V it works great. Two of the cr123 work great also just make sure to use the included plastic sleeve to keep them from rattling. The light itself works great I've used some surefires and 5.11's and I prefer the O-light

Sorry. I have the 44901 lithium not the 44900 std battery. FWIW. Amp draw has to be marginal Best flashlight I've ever owned BTW.

NO !!! You need the 18650 batteries. The regular AA batteries won't work, they are too small lengthwise and will not work.
