I bought 3 lights, I tried a double A battery like it says on all 3, and none of them work. Do I have to buy the 14500 3.7 battery?

The way it sounds , it would NOT make any difference what you put in, still will NOT work. The larger battery is not your solution. I bought 12 and none worked. Tried it all, nothing. Finally got refund from vender, took a while. The lites are great when they work. Buy from a different vender and pay attention to reviews by fellow buyers...good luck !

Well, Chad. The ones i bought work Perfect, No Issues. Sounds like your problem could be a Ground Issue? I guess i would hook them up, one at a time, to a good 12volt battery. makeing sure if the problem follows the same light. then...take that light apart and look for any possible Faults?

Well these lights are 130 watts So off of a normal duall purpose battery with 200 amps will run for 15 hours. So if you run the other ones which I don't know the wattage of you will most definitely get 3 hours.

AA batteries are the same size as the 14500. Yes they move around a little but both work fine in my light. However AA will not last very long. Make sure you have the + terminal toward the light end.

1. Are the batteries in correctly? 2. Are they within the correct distance from the main light? 3. Place all lights together, turn off your power and see if they work? 4. Call the Company.

If you have access to a multimeter check to make sure your batteries are actually charged. If not maybe someone you know can help you or perhaps visit a local electrical supply store, Radio Shack, etc. If the batteries are fully charged, do make sure you have then installed correctly. I can't tell you how many times I've installed batteries incorrectly even though I absolutely know to check which way they go before I put them in. If your batteries are charged and they're installed correctly, then I can only assume it has something to do with the circuitry of your headlight.....could be a lot of things. Sorry to tell you that my headlight did not last long and its problem was poor quality circuitry....the circuit board in the battery compartment self-destructed. It fried itself one day while I was wearing it. If your light is now garbage, try this one: Weiita H807 Starlight LED Headlamp, 300 Lumen, available on Amazon. It's similar but much better IMO, plus the company is great to deal with. Hope this helps.

My light works fine with 1.5v AA batteries. But the 3.7v Li Ion batteries make it brighter.

I don't know what 14500 batteries are but the light is designed for 2 AA batteries, which is 3 volts.

I would run anything above 5 fared, You are running 4600w a 3 is too low, Usually 1 fared is equivalent to 1000w aprox.and if your lights are still dimming, I would get a better efficient battery, I hope this is helpful.

You'll need to replace the batteries. You can use two CR2016s or one CR2032. The two CR2016s will give you a brighter light, but a shorter overall battery life. The one CR2032 will give you a dimmer light, but longer battery life. Both battery types can be found at most dollar stores, but the CR2032 is more prevalent.

I own 2 of these lights. It's 3 instead of 2. You want to use the extension and use 3 batteries because this flashlight uses a lot of power. Try to buy your 18650 batteries in multiples of 3... such as a dozen.

These lights all fit. You need to do the math on battery power vs volts. If not enough batteries the light will not work.

If your unit comes with the 18650 Battery, then no. If it comes with the 14500 battery, then yes you can use AA batteries. The light will be not as bright 1.5 volts ver 3.7 volts. but the light is still good.

Don't buy this one. Buy the Cree 1200 and then buy the 6600 mar battery. Then you will have over four hours run time. The red hooded light is only 4 volts that is why they up the battery size.

Neither the type of battery that these light run on is slightly biggerThan a double I believe its a 3.7 v u can or der battires with it an the charger that's what I did because these type of battery's you cant just go out an by. Just get save some heart ache and get the recharables. With the charger both are not easy to just go an by from kmart.plus there expensive.

I really have no idea... Bought light, but never got to use it as was broken and replaced by amazon and the 2nd one was also broken. I did not take a 3rd chance. Sorry I can't be of help to you!

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
