Does it come with protected or unprotected batteries? From the picture it looks to be the protected kind but I want to make sure with owners.

After watching the video you sent, the answer is, yes they are protected. I had never heard of such a thing. Thanks for making me a little wiser.

batteries came in regular cellular warp. (don't understand what is meant by "protected batteries".)

Does this flashlight actually put out 1600LM... I need to know as I am in security and will use the light as a non-lethal defense weapon. Thanks.

It is a good flashlight, it meets expectations, it is recommended and comes with charger and two batteries

What do you mean by protected? You might be confusing the plastic cover provided with some flashlights to fit over the 18650 battery so it can replace the 3 AAA battery holder.

the flashlight charger combo that I received did come with the protected batteries

No the battery is sealed within the unit. Mine lasted about 4 years and died when there was a big surge of current during a storm, so I purchased a new one. It works well and I recommend it.

helloi didn't use that item, because it won't accept back up batteries, i still have it. probably it will replace the other one since it is same brand

These are unprotected batteries and not recommended for mechanical mods. Pushing sub ohm coils will cause the battery to overheat and explode

Mine came with batteries, but that was a few years ago. It might be different now

No it won't ruin it. I have one in my hand held spotlight. They are sealed type batteries, and can be used in any postion, as long as it it's secured.

Well........I'm not sure what "unprotected" batteries are in YOUR case, but I have 4 different 18650 batteries and they ALL charge up and the charger LED DOES turn green after the batteries have a full charge. Now this is for ME and the batteries that I have. One of the batteries I have is an Ultrafire BRC 18650 3.7V li-ion 3800mAh , and another one is an Ultrafire BRC 18650 3.7V li-ion 4000mAh. The other two are in flashlights that I have at another house so I can't answer what the brand is for those. But as I said.......the charger unit DOES turn green with these batteries in there.

I got mine brand new in packaging. Just like it I was to but it from the store. With batteries included. Inside of a paded envelope. If you received it not like I did. I would contact the seller and ask them about it.

The Nitecore 18650 2600mAh batteries I received with the light were in fact protected.

Yes, the protected charger will also charge unprotected 18650 unprotected cells but keep in mind that they are unprotected. If they have a bad or damaged cell it will not help.

No, the battery came fully charged and ready to use! If yours is not fully charged, battery came with great instructions on how to use. Super easy!!

The one I bought came with the batteries inside. I think that is the way they all come.

Mmmmm I've had this unit for about 4 months and haven't dealt with or heard about any batteries. I just plugged it in and used it. If there are batteries it'll be a surprise to me. BTW I like the light.

It came with the appropriate (D-type) batteries installed. One of the things that appealed to me is that the rest-mode and use-mode are apparently really efficient, so you (as they note) won't necessarily have to change the batteries - they last a really long time. So far no problems at all!

I received no literature with the battery other than a small sheet on installation. According to the Arris website there is a policy on warranties that seems to say that batteries are covered for one year. http://www.arrisi.com/_docs/tc.pdfOtherwise battery has been working fine as I get lots of power blips in my area.
