Bought this flashlight and the literature said to use three AAA or one AA 18650 eneloop battery. Explain how one AA battery works, it doesn't fit?

I wasn't aware of the substitution with one AA envelop battery. You're right, I can't see any way of that happening. Sorry I couldn't help.

I haven't seen the information that you are talking about, but if you Google AA 18650 eneloop, what comes up is a Sanyo battery charger, that will charge AAA and AA batteries.Simon recommends that you use rechargeable batteries, and that particular brand is supposed to discharge slowly (an issue with rechargeable batteries is that they discharge even when not being used). So I would assume that they are recommending a particular brand of rechargeable battery, rather than saying you can use an AA battery.

My Simon Cree Led T6 Pro did not contain the instructions you mentioned. Mine said to use 3 AAA batteries. However it was strongly suggested that I use Rechargeable AAA batteries. I bought a battery charger and rechargeable AAA batteries. There is no mention of any other arrangement.

You've "got me" with that "cage" question! Unscrew the back of the flashlight and remove the "cage" that holds three batteries. You DO NOT "OPEN" that cage ... each battery pops out; pull them out from the side opposite each Spring (at the bottom or negative side of each battery) replace with fresh batteries, inserting the bottom ... or negative end onto the Spring in the "cage" compressing the Spring with the battery ... and pushing the top of the battery (positive end) into the "cage". Replace the cage with the three batteris back into the flashlight .... with the cage's movable "plunger" side going into the flashlight first. Have I satisfactorily answered your question????

Yeah, I just bought a M18 battery and one of these flashlights. They will NOT work together!

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.

It can use either 3 AAA, or one rechargeable 18650 battery. It comes with a holder for the 3 AAA, and also with a charger and two 18650 batteries.

I put in duracell AA battery in when I got it. It's still in there. I use the flashlight everyday ...4 times a day lighting up dark rooms a few minutes at a time.

The battery is actually quite I bit bigger than a AA battery. AA batteries will not work in this flashlight. For the 7-10 dollars more, it is definately worth the batteries with the charger.

No, the 18650 is both slightly longer than two CR-123a's and larger in diameter. Also, they run 3.3-4.2V as opposed to 5.6-6.4V total for two 123a's - the LED flashlight must be designed to accommodate them. Many two '123a cell lights made in the PRC, like my Olight M21 & M22 and Fenix PD-35, will use them - and work better, too. None of my 2-cell US-made Surefires will fit them - the body tube's ID is too small.

I've always used them with two cell flashlights. If the six batteries are in series (- of one battery against the + of the next battery and so on), then you'll increase the voltage but the overall power capacity remains the same. For example, two 1.5 volt batteries in series gives you three volts, but overall should have the same overall power capacity as one 1.5 volt battery. Six would be 6 x 1.5 = 9 volts. Now Having said that, I have recycled nearly dead batteries into flashlights with these LEDs and still get very useful amounts of light for several more months (where the conventional flashlight bulb would have become too dim to use). Hope that helps, Joe

Mine came with the single longer battery and unique charger. tried putting in 2 of the 18650's and they wont power. not very happy about that as the the stock battery only says 2200mah and the 18650's i got are like 3500mah each. Everything else seems good about the light. Been out on 1 dive and did a good rinse after.

A lot of compact flashlight use this size. Based on warnings I've seen on similar batteries, the recommendation is for flashlights using incandescent bulbs. The lithium-ion batteries have a slightly higher output voltage which can damage incandescent bulbs.

I don't have the flashlight so guessing, but it's probably for the 18650 battery as it's narrower than the 3 AAA batteries

Either one 18650 lithium battery or two CR123A batteries will do. My favorite flashlight because it is the brightest one for it's size. Plenty bright outdoors and brightness can be reduced for indoors. Nice wide beam. Fits in your pocket. Don't order from China though. I've gotten two pieces of junk from there. Pay a couple of extra dollars and order directly from Amazon. You won't be disappointed.

Jared, I use the 3-Volt 18650 batteries in just about every flashlight and Laser I own. Never had a problem with them. Just make sure you use the right charger designed for them, to re-charge!

Buy the 18650 battery. You can usually find them with a charger included with a pair of the 18650 batteries. The flashlight should come with a plastic sleeve that holds one 18650 battery.

I have several 18650 batteries. They are all the red UltraFire batteries, but I'm sure they would be the same size as yours. The single red UltraFire 18650 battery is too long and too narrow for this flashlight. At least the "AAA" batteries it takes are easy to find.
