Does this flashlight come WITH batteries? Mine didn't. There was no instruction sheet either letting me know I had to get 18650 batteries.

This is a Chinese product from China. Typical of Chinese products you get great value for the money with no instructions, no warranty, and no accessories. Sometimes poor build quality.Best to consider this a hobbyist light because you've got to know something about rechargeable Chinese Li-ion batteries and how to treat them. Can be hazardous if not treated properly.The batteries are extra and run from low quality to high quality. Price ranges accordingly. You'll need to buy a charger for 18650's too. My deluxe charger goes for over $40, but it is very versatile and charges all four batteries at once. This is a Chinese product from China.

No it does not. I looked on what consumers bought with it. Order the Ulrafire 4 pack rechargable 18650 batteries and a charger.

The light comes with no batteries, charger or directions. The switch is terrible, sometimes it works other times it dims by itself, sometimes it doesn't work. I'm returning mine. It also puts out less light than the Costco light I bought that has 350 lumens. The Costco 350 lumens is twice as bright. I'm sorry I don't have anything good to say about it. Lots of other persons had the same opinion as I did. Kenny K The Gadget Freak.

No. Neither does the battery. I suggest using an 18650 panisonic cell with at least 3000 mAh. Amazon has Orbtronic 3400mAh batteries right now. I'd get two of them per flashlight so that you have a spare to use while charging, and the Nitecore Intellicharger.

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.

AA batteries do not work with this flashlight. You need to use 14500 Rechargeable Batteries. You can get them and the Charger at Amazon. I have very good experience with them.

This flashlight USES 18650 individual cells or 26650 single battery.The price of the battery is not sure, to see whether the brand!

Check the product description - if it doesn't say explicitly that it does, it doesn't. I don't remember personally, but it's rare to get batteries with this type of flashlight.

No. It comes with 2 CR123 lithium batteries. The flashlight should really be used with a high quality 18650 rechargeable lithium ion battery. Fenix has some new 3400mAh cells that are top notch but you can get away with cheaper ones. I would suggest getting a combo deal with the new Fenix batteries and charger.

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.

I am wondering the same thing...I just purchased the flashlight myself and for those that own it...I would like to know if it comes with a charging station or if I need to buy that separately?

NO! I don't know what those other two reviewers got, but the ones I received does not allow the 18650 batteries to go in. SonOfUncleSam hit it right on the nose.

Yes, according to my manufacturer, an 18650 Lithium-ion battery will work in this light. Thank you for your question and your purchase. Have a great day!Don R.

Dear Karen, mine arrived without batteries, too. However, a little of "Googling" helped me to find the adequate type of battery. So it is, as described near the product spec: 18650 3.7v. I bought the rechargeable one and everything functions fine from that moment on. Please check at the site: Buytra 1800 Lumens 7-modes Handheld Flashlight Zoomable CREE XM-L T6 LED Flashlight Torch LampHope I helpedRgdsRanko

It does not accept AA or AAA batteries. You must order the 18650 batteries. Dissapointing, I know, but I promise you won't be disapointed with the flashlight. It's amazing!

Hey Fredrik I did not receive any batteries with my order. The light uses standard four AA 1.5v batteries or AA rechargeables 1.2v and also the non rechargeable lithium batteries will work. However lithium ion batteries are not accepted by this flashlight. I normally use Sanyo eneloops rechargeables. I hope that helps :D

No it did not come with batteries or the charger. That costed extra, and the flashlight broke within a week of use.

You have to order the flashlight with the battery charger. I have ordered both in the past. Their should be a description that indicates the additional battery and charger are part of the package. There should also be a price differential between the two.
