1600lm? Exact same size/look of the Q5 that is only 300 lm. Only difference I can see is that the Q5 is a 14500 Li-ion not 18650. Anyone have both?

Dan. I carry my Q5 on my belt all the time for some quick light.. The T6 is in my car.. I do not believe the T6 is really 1600 Lm.. maybe a really good 600LM.. The T6 is definitely brighter than the Q5. But it does not begin compare to my favorite light the Fenix TK51, especially when the TK51 is 900LM in the high spot light mode and 1800 when combined with its 900LM Floodlight mode.. But the Fenix TK51 is $129.00... I paid $3.50 each for my Q5's and I have 10 of them for my grand kids... I paid $6.95 each for my T6's and I have 6 of them for the wife and my grown kids. I love these lights for the money.. Dan. I carry my Q5 on my belt all the time for some quick light.. The T6 is in my car.. I do not believe the T6 is really 1600 Lm.. maybe a really good 600LM..

I have both. The Q5 300lm. 14500 or AA Battery is smaller ( at 3 3/4 inch long ). the T6 900lm. 18650 or 2- CR123 battery is about 4 1/2 inch long. They have slightly different color temp. The T6 is a more white / blue color.

No, they are not the same battery. The 18650 is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. The cost is reasonable and, having used about 8 of this type battery, I can vouch for their longevity and utility.

Howdy Becky, These are a lot larger batteries that a normal "AA" battery. Normal "AA" are 1.5 volts, These are 3.7 volts. But they can be found on Amazon by typing in 18650 Batteries. Don't buy the cheapest you see Nitecore has a set of two with a charger for about $15 Prime. I have a set of these myself and they last about 8 hours while fishing. Once a month I let my light run completely down. Then I charge it completely. This helps the battery from developing what is call a discharge "memory." If you charge everytime it goes down to 1/2 time, the batteries will start to think 1/2 discharge is fully discharged. Hope this helps you out.

Li-ion rechargeable 18650, i personally use 5000mAh batteries the higher the mAh rating the konger burn time you will get on a charge. Since I utilize this flashlight exclusively for scuba diving mostly at night the length of burn time is important to me. There are several packages of these batteries on amazon is you search for "18650 battery" . I hope my somewhat longwinded answer helps you. As a side note the light wirjs great to depths of 130' mine has roughly 50 dives to that deth. Make sure that you utilize silicone grease on the o-rings befire submerging the light.

I bought the "IntsunUltraFire 18650 3000mAh 3.7V Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery (Pair) + Charger Combo". It was $10.80 delivered with my amazon prime. They hold a charge well, rated at 3000mAh. they charge fast, and the charger's compact with no parts to lose. I paid $39.00 just for a light that wasn't nearly as bright before this so in my opinion, this light battery combo can't be beat! Especially when you get two of the batteries. Hope this helps you.

The 1600 mah looks different by name than NB-6L 3.7v 1060 MAH. The main difference being 1600 MAH to 1060 MAH, their both 3.7 v. Does anyone know what that difference means. I dont want to wind up frying my camera. Just asking to make sure I can buy this battery with assurance.

I don't know. I've barely used them. The two I received did not look like the picture; the font was much smaller and lighter I could barely see it and they did not have a QR code. Plus, seem like something oozed underneath the green skin darkening it, like when you bruise your skin. These were my first and only vtc5's so I have no comparison.

Can anyone else confirm if this unit is truly 14000 mAh or only 4000 mAh? I can't seem to find the specs anywhere.

If you're ordering a new battery go with the NiMh battery. Also they use the same charger so you can buy a standard stinger charger. I also ordered the TerraLux LED upgrade for my stinger and Love it, Love it, Love it. Barely have to use my maglite anymore because my stinger is just as bright now and it is a lot easier to handle. Hope it helps!

The light takes the 18650 3000mAh 3.7V Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery. You have to buy that separately. Try an UltraFire, they work fine. BUT...as for the light, see my review on this scope combo. The light is the worst part of it - you'll want to buy a better light. Still worth the cost overall.

You would have to take it some where and have it changed , which I would not do. There is a smaller creed Q 5 Sure Fire which was fewer lumens and fewer dollars. I also felt there was not much difference as far as brightness. The Q 5 can also be mounted on a scope.

No, a AA batterie is around 14mm in diameter, these are 18mm, Also the AA is around 50mm long, these are 65mm.If you're looking for a L-ion battery that has the same dimensions as a AA, you want to find a 14500

I hate flashlights with C & D batteries as the batteries leak upon death. Therefore I purchased several LED flashlights using the same type of battery used in the strikelight #BRC 18650 in higher capacity. I purchased 5,000 mAh battery for my strikelight Tm. The cost is far less than replacement standard C & D flashlight batteries. I would guess that the 5,000 mAh battery should reach that 5 hour mark if only the flashlight was used for the test. My Striklight Tm was received as a gift and it's in my car. The larger battery is great for long term storage but I would charge it yearly.

get these: TangsFire® High capacity 2pcs 3.7V 18650 3600mAh Rechargeable lithium ion BatteriesI bought this flashlight, and got the blue batteries as shown with it as well, and while they are good, the Tangsfire ones I linked are better. The flashlight is a little brighter with them. I tested the flashlight with the blue ones shown and compared them to the Tangsfire ones, and the tangsfire ones last longer and are a little brighter.

Unfortunately, the 18650 rechargeable battery will not fit in the flashlights. Mine just arrived around a half an hour ago, and tested them with the 18650, which sticks out from the base of the flashlight about a quarter of an inch. I'm not sure if this post was referring to an older model, but it doesn't fit the current.

If you mean the lower amp/hour rated lithium-ion battery, I believe they are interchangeable. Perhaps we both should research that question because I did not know or I forgot that there was a lower amp/hour battery available in lithium ion series. It requires the lithium ion battery for sure. That is, as you probably know, the older Nickel Metal Hydride batteries won't fit the LED light and they use a different charger. I had to forego all of my old Nickel Metal Hydride tools and lights to upgrade to lithium ion -- and it was expensive. I will say that I have not yet had an occasion where I ran my lithium ion battery all the way down using this light. However, I use the higher capacity batteries.
