Always use the best alkaline you can. I prefer Duracell or the Costco brand.

The batteries were put in my flashlight and used a little. I then took them out and put them in the charger and they charged right back up!!! I love these batteries!

There is a performance gain by using the 18650 battery. I tried both battery options and found the 18650 to work the best. I have a couple other flashlights that uses the 18650's. I purchased a 12pk of the 6000mAh batteries and that is my recommendation. That last for ever. I hope this helps.

These batteries are for cameras. Doubt if they're intended for flashlight use. Flashlight batteries are usually 1.5 volts and these are 3.7 volts. Go figger...

That's a good way to put it...yes.Overall, they are like oversized AA batteries. They do, however, hold a charge very well...especially for things like tactical flashlights, etc.

it's hard to say most use 18650 batteries but without the model of your flashlight it's hard to say. look here for your model and it will tell you what battery it uses.http://www.lightmalls.com/uniquefire-flashlights

There are certain Cree flashlights & other Cree lights that use that type of battery. U just have to search which ones. Hope this helps you.

I still have original batteries that came with the flashlight in mine from a year ago. Don't use a whole lot though. I have problems with it wanting to go off and have to shake to get it to come back on. It does have a lifetime warranty though. You can use rechargable batteries in it.

I have used Eneloop 1900mahr NiMH rechargeables forever in mine with excellent results. I like Eneloop batteries because they hold the charge longer and you don't pick up a flashlight and find it dead. They can also be recharged more times.

Any 18650 battery will do. The higher the mAh you buy the in these the longer the light will run between charges. I'd stick with name brand 18650's BTW - Panasonic, Samsung, etc. The low cost/low quality 18650 are certainly cheap but they can be dangerous.

Buy the battery and charger. I tried using CR123A batteries and burned the bulb out in one of my flashlights. You can search amazon and find a vendor that will sell you the ultrafire brand li-on 2pack with charger for around 13.00. It's well worth it.

Li-ion rechargeable 18650, i personally use 5000mAh batteries the higher the mAh rating the konger burn time you will get on a charge. Since I utilize this flashlight exclusively for scuba diving mostly at night the length of burn time is important to me. There are several packages of these batteries on amazon is you search for "18650 battery" . I hope my somewhat longwinded answer helps you. As a side note the light wirjs great to depths of 130' mine has roughly 50 dives to that deth. Make sure that you utilize silicone grease on the o-rings befire submerging the light.

I use them in many of my Flash Lights. Long Run time. I currently use (1) 18650-3400mAh in my Olight S20 Baton. It fits great and runs great.

I have the charger and two batteries and have had them for about a year and a half and have not had any problem with them. I use them in a 1000 lumen flashlight and they seem to hold their charge well. Hope this helps.

I did a lot of research and watched a lot of videos when I bought my flashlight. The batteries will definitely work in your flashlight.

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)

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
