How long is the battery life with AA or Ultrafire batteries?

The battery life is short because the light is so bright. Just use it as a Tactical flashlight and the bettery will last longer. Use regukar flashlights for general purposes.

No. They are 18650 batteries. Probably removed from a used up laptop battery.Ultrafire batteries are crap. You might get lucky, and get a good one, probably not.

I prefer this AAA battery set, they last months before having to be replaced. The newer built-in rechargeable battery set i believe they advertise as having a 24hr battery life before having to be recharged. That made my selling point the AAA pair.

On a fresh set of 2-AAA alkaline batteries, I managed to get close to 50 hours of listening time, over the course of about 2 months. Completely blew me away. Before that, I tried a set of the more-expensive Energizer Lithium batteries, and I only got about 25 hours out of them.

Any rechargeable AA will work. The ones with the higher mAh ratings will likely hold a charge longer. I've used different brands without noticing much difference. I would just avoid the cheapest, unknown brands.

I use the Duracell AA batteries and I believe it takes 16 total. They last quite a while depending on usage.

The Ultrafire battery has worked well for me, personally I wouldn't see the need for buying another brand. But choose whatever you will be most comfortable with.

I have not personally tested it. Runs on 3 AA's, so however long they last. �

I use regular AA batteries all the time. Never purchase expensive rechargeable batteries.

I got the "UltraFire 18650 3000mAh 3.7V Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery + Charger Combo" the battery life is last a long time. Sure you can get a battery with more mAH. It will last longer you will have to pay more. The combo is a good starter kit. If you use the light every day. Buy the better charger and battery. Ps. Love the Niecire ec25 it puts out a ridiculous amount of light.

I had fantastic luck with regular double A batteries as well. Generally, they would last for maybe about 8 hours of life, and I always got accurate battery life readouts, and was always able to replace them when they got low without any issues.

Depends on your charger, and how much capacity the batteries actually have (most Ultrafire batteries have false mAh markings). I wouldn't buy these, all except for one I've ever heard of were bad batteries, and even that purchaser found the capacity was 2000 some mAh. I'd find some Panasonic 3100 or 3400mAh protected batteries instead, these Ultrafires are not worth it.

I use UltraFire BRC 18650 3.7V "4000mAh" rechargeable Li-ion Batteries which also hold a charge for long periods of non use.The C8 with this battery far surpasses AA & AAA flash lights.

I use these batteries in some burglar alarm sensors, and mark the date of installation. Most of the time (in at least half a dozen instances), I will get between 2 - 3.5 years of service on the Ultralife batteries. It's not 10 years, but it is far more than I would get from a standard alkaline.

The Pocketalker Ultra model uses 2-Alkaline AAA batteries and you will get over 200 hours of use before you need to change them. The Pocketalker PRo uses 2-Alkaline AA battereis and you will also get over 200 hours of use.

Hi E, Bastien the batteries that I received was (ultrafire) BRC18650 4000mAh 3.7V li-ion . I have to charger them for a day 24hrs and after that I put the battery in and use it mostly on low power and still on the first charge no problems with them at this time ,,
