I'm still using the same battery, but I also use a battery from magic shine and have had no problems

I would suggest you make your own battery pack or buy a different light. My battery pack was dead on arrival. I haven't opened mine up, I started to pull the rubber stand off to get to the batt pack but it's glued on. It'll be damaged if I can't find another way. It's probably got 3 AA cells wired in series to give 7.2V. If I can't hack this to use AA or AAA 'Eneloop' batteries I will dispose of it.

Sounds like a defect, I would contact somebody and get a new one. Hopefully they'll take care of you because this is a great light. I ordered mine months ago and carry it with me everywhere and it works like a champ! I haven't had to change the batteries yet either!

No...it's separate (which I didn't realize when I purchased it) and the battery pack is a bit expensive. I now have a light with no battery pack.

Dear Customer, Please note that this light only works with 18650 battery. 18650 batteries are very available in the market, by brands like Sony, Panasonic etc. You may want to purchase an extra battery to complement the one shipped with the light. In the near future Cycle Beam may offer individual replacement 18650 batteries in our webstore to make it even easy for our customers to get it. Hope that I answered your question.

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.

Amazon has them, Maglite will sell you one, they will even fix yours..., Depending on what year your flashlight is, you may need an adapter. Send MagLite an email...

My light uses "ultrafire li-ion 18650" batteries, which are rechargable Lithium-ion cells, and go for about $5 a pair complete with charger at amazon.18650 3000mAh 3.7V Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery + Charger Combo

I have an identical light by another manufacturer that takes a small Phillips screwdriver. They are tight but it can be done. I have not replaced the Maxcraft batteries but it should be the same. Sorry I can't say for sure without trying.

Battery holds the charge for a long time. I just charge it when it needs it. I don't expect to have to replace it anytime soon. This is a great light, albeit a little pricey. But I spent 35-40 on a Stanley ni-cad type that didn't last at all, was heavy with bad balance, and not as bright as this light. It went in the garbage so that money was thrown away.

Send it back while you can. The batteries are expensive, not good for much else, and my light fried after a couple of months. I bought a Weiita H807 Starlight LED Headlamp, 300 Lumen headlight found elsewhere on Amazon. It uses good old AA batteries, provides plenty of light, and has been going strong since the first week in Sept. My son also has one of these headlights and we use them on a daily basis.

It's a 6 volt 4.5Ah rechargeable sealed lead battery. My original was made by Power One and failed to hold a charge after 18 months. This battery represents about 75% of the weight of the light... lead will do that. I found a replacement on Amazon for about $10, which claims they need to be replaced every 3-5 years. I just ordered it, so no comment on performance. Here is the link: UPG UB645 Sealed Lead Acid Batteries

I recommend getting the Tenergy smart charger, which comes with 2 batteries (18650 form factor, which this light needs). Should be around $30. That's all you'll need. Important feature: it charges the two slots completely independently.

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.

Well the battery pack is internal and not replaceable... That said if you a resourceful DIY person I'm sure you would open then handle and figure out what its got inside for batteries and locate a replacement if you were so inclined. This one is new so I hope to not discover what's inside for a few years to come.

Adkins, thanks for the information. Gomadic's battery pack seems to be perfect form me. It is small, light and costs only $19.95. I'm going to order it.
