Are the included Nightcore batteries "protected?" I can't tell from the packaging.

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

The batteries are not protected and neither does the charger. So it is risky to leave it charging for extended period.

They are covered in a velvety cloth, which is preferable because it doesn't stick to your skin. The batteries are rechargeable AAA's which are replaceable.

The one i received was not in Lenovo packaging. The box was generic, as was the documentation. The battery itself had what appeared to be Lenovo markings, and LOOKED like it could be legit. After 1 cycle and a bios update, the battery stopped showing a charge (actually I think it stopped communicating with the computer)and was returned to the vendor. it was almost certainly a counterfeit item.I bought another battery from another site and it shipped in full Lenovo regalia, Printed box, printed security tape, hologram seals, full professional documentation etc. If your doesn't have these, it's probably not a real Lenovo item.

Agree with Rob and LDG - they are delivered as shown, as two separate batteries. They will not be enclosed in a casing as they are on a scooter. You will have to take the battery case off your scooter, take out screws most likely along the bottom, unclip dead batteries and replace with new ones. Charge for 8-12 hours that night and will be good to go!

I guess I missed it. The two batteries are obviously included in the base of the devices. Maybe I'll grow up but then again, why. Thanks for the info.

I agree with Ken's answer. It's really just a specially sized battery. The battery housing unit isn't all that attractive (and mine was installed in the garage to link to the location of the outside box) but I can't see why having this battery would present any more concerns than having a battery-powered lantern or large flashlight in the bedroom, which is a fairly common emergency supply for people to keep nearby.

I do not recall any 'protected' claim for this rechargeable, so suspect it is NOT... also, I found this website with additional information: http://www.lighthound.com/Rechargeable-Lithium-Battery-Information--Protected-vs-Unprotected-Li-Ion-Batteries--Lithium-Ion-Battery_ep_36-1.html

The batteries are with them in the package, but not in the flashlights themselves. We like ours.

They are lithium batteries...and it is sealed. I believe that they are AA batteries sealed...but I have not disassembled it to find out. The SecurityIng website has the AA batteries, so I am guessing that is what they are. I finally ordered a second larger battery as a safety battery. Still love this light....brightest light in my night riding group.

same here. brand new batteries...power to the red LEDs but no power to the camera. Returning today.And the packaging was insane. Return box now contains shreds and shards of jagged plastic.

I only bought two lithium batteries, so they could not have come in the pack shown. My two batteries were wrapped in bubble wrap. I hope this is a bit helpful. Rebecca

I am presently out of town and unable to look at the ones I have. I have never had a problem. They are always well charged and quite btrght when darkness falls. I will be home the end of the first week in Feb and would be happy to check and see if the batteries are replaceable. Off hand I think they may not be, I recall they are well sealed.

It is a sealed unit. The batteries are not user replaceable, but they do seem to hold up fairly well. It comes with a charge cable that plugs into it.

Yes they are, need to remove the plastic strip to activate the batteries. Happy with mine works great.

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.

After J. Lamb's response, I did open one of the units. Indeed they are openable and the wires do connect the two pieces together. As she said, be gentle. There are also small wires holding the rechargeable AAA NiCD 1.2V 300mAh batteries in--I gently bent them out of the way and the battery came out easily. I ordered replacements (they're cheap) for the other units that have started to fail (either come on irregularly or not at all). I'll update again after I've replaced the batteries.
