I use the charger for my Radio Control flight and car battery charger, but they are kind of expensive if you do not have a need for a mltiple battery cahrger, though you might be able to pick one up for around 40 to 45 dollars

Jessica, would suggest either going to E-Bay for a second hand charger or go to Streamlite's Web Site for chargers. The chargers are cheap as compared to the cost of the Stinger Flashlight. Also if there is a store in your area that sells equipment for Fire, EMS and Law Enforcement then give them a try.

For the past 19 months, I've been using the Soshine SC-S2 (Newest version 03 at the time) smart 1A per channel 18650 Li-ion Battery Charger for 18650 Lithium-ion 3.7V Rechargeable Batteries. Purchased from Orbtronic http://www.orbtronic.com/ . I'm sure Orbtronic customer support could help you with specific questions. Good Luck!

Good idea but, no low battery indicator light. As you suspected, at high intensity (1600 lm) the light works for a little over two hours then simply shuts off. However, long-term solution to this problem involves purchasing 2 (two) rechargeable 3.7V & 6000mAh; Li-ion protected with PCB (model #: 26650 ≈ $16.00 for a pair). Of course, the final step in circumventing this problem is purchasing a recharging unit (the unit made by 4Sevens recharges a single battery in ≈ 1 hour). Finally, these are very robust and versatile flashlight available to the public.

I looked into this so I'd have one charged and ready 1 X Replacement 8.4V 6600mAh Rechargeable Battery Pack for Headlamp & Bicycle Light seems to fit the specifications for what you would be looking for.

Mine was. The light didn't come on the charger or on my electric chair. My husband had a meter to test to see if there was any electric response and there wasn't. I bought the amazon 24V charger for around $50 and it's been working fine. I think I burned my charger out by leaving it plugged in even when I wasn't using it. Of course i've also had it for over 15 yrs.

I looked on the Streamlight website before I bought my charger which is the circular sleeve one but I have a Streamlight 20XP LED which has two small charge strips, one on each side, between the LED and halogen on-off buttons up by the light end. I guess it partially depends on the configuration of the flashlight or whether you want the capacity to just charge a battery alone, too.

Hello, they use the 18650 rechargeable 3.7v battery, and depending on the bulb, they could also use the (RCR123) 16340. The former is one, whereas the latter two. Hope that helps, you can find specials where the battery charger comes with batteries. If the bulb isn't 3.7v - 14v, if you try the 16340's, even though they should work (correct volts / amps) you'll probably blow the bulb. Those batteries take their own specificway chargers. Take care.

Get a battery charger specifically designed for the 8.4v battery. Go to www.airsoftgi.com. It is a great source for everything you will need.

I'm having the exact same problem. Although my charger was somewhat inconsistent before it died completely. (For about a month the light would come on on the charger about 3/4 of the time when I plugged it in.)

Buy a smart charger and you won't over charge the battery. It's worth the money.

Hello, I have this camera and purchased the Kodak 4 cell Smart Charger. You can find that here on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Kodak-Cell-Smart-Charger-SC4/dp/B004SPWGDW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362169871&sr=8-1&keywords=+SC4+4-Cell+Smart+Charger+with+4+AA as far as the user guide etc. It can be found at Kodak site here. http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/42254/selected/true Great camera, we love ours.

My charger did not work! I tried to reach the seller to see if I could get a new charger but could not get a response. They only choice they gave me was to return the kit for a refund. I charged the batteries with a different charger and they only lasted 45 minuets on high. I decided to keep the light that seamed to work fine and just make my own battery pack and get my own charger.

No it is not a smart charger. It will not overcharge your battery enough to destroy/damage it.

I haven't used any other battery and charger except for the foursevens 26650 and its single-bay charger also from foursevens. Make sure the battery has a built-in protection circuit, because even if the flashlight itself has a circuit to protect the LED, that doesnt stop the battery from being too drained or possibly becoming overcharged.

You can find them here on Amazon. The best ones I've found so far are the Nitecore 18650 NL186 2600mAh. Probably the best deal right now is the Nitecore Sysmax Intellicharge i4 version 2 Four Bays universal home/car battery charger, Four Nitecore 18650 NL186 2600mAh rechargeable batteries with Smith & Wesson Carabeamer LED Clip Light bundle.

The Nitecore charger is actually a great charger, it just sounds like you got a unit that was bad. As far batteries, the research I've done suggests that a lot of them are actually the same - just branded with whatever company is selling them. I'm not sure if they sell on Amazon, but I have had excellent service with a place called Orbtronic. The Orbtronic batteries work very well and I've never had a problem with them not charging fully. I also have a couple of EagleTac branded batteries for my EagleTac flashlight. I honestly can not tell a difference.
