Are there alternative batteries to use for lights like these such as two Lithium 123 batteries? Making sure before buying possibly fake 18650s&charger

Will not work. I have both and have tried. 123s are shorter and smaller diameter.

Yes I used two C123a and it worked. A little sloppy on the barrel but once you tightened the tail cap, feel ok.

I bought mine on Amazon. Trustfire Smart Charger Can Charge for 26650 /18650 Li-ion Batteries is the link to what I bought. I love the light but it draws so much power that the freshly charged batteries don't last very long.

Hey there =), Neither, the 18650 3.7V is its own type battery. It is used for certain devices and i use them to power my Cree Flashlight.

Hi. The replacement batteres are Li-ion rechargeable 18650. These are 3.6v, should be 3000mA. These are readily available with a charger through Amazon- I bought several sets and have had good luck.

I have the charger and two batteries and have had them for about a year and a half and have not had any problem with them. I use them in a 1000 lumen flashlight and they seem to hold their charge well. Hope this helps.

Yes they are. They are closer to the size of a C cell battery but twice as long. They are the same type of cell that is in laptop battery packs. If you search 18650 you will find the batteries and chargers here on Amazon for very good prices. All the Ultrafire batteries I have bought work great. This is by far the best of the best when it comes to budget flashlights like these: http://www.amazon.com/UltraFire-WF-502B-XM-LT6-Flashlight-Clip/dp/B006LVBDNU/ref=sr_1_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1364293375&sr=1-3&keywords=ultrafire+502b

It is hidden in the description - 18650 Battery. Search Amazon or eBay and you'll find them. They are a slightly wacky but very effective Li ion battery. Do some research and get a reasonable quality. Some of them claim high storage but I think they are all about the same.

You can either use two 123 Lithium batteries (expensive option and don't last very long) or get the BRC18650 batteries Amazon offeres (cheaper option). The BRC 18650 batterys from Amazon are rechargeable, if you look at the same set of batteries I purchased, it came with the wall charger too. It included two batteries and only one is needed to work the flashlight, it is the same lenght as two of the 123 batteries so you always have a spare battery ready. The two pack batteries with charger from Amazon cost me around $12.00. I have one of these and a Coast PX25 flashlight (cost $30-$45) but uses AAA batteries. This light is a little brighter than the PX25 but imo not made as well. I have not had any problems with either light but I think the PX25 is more rugged.

I would not put batteries in them as that indicates its fake. Real ones do not have that light

No, you can use either a lithium rechargeable 18650 battery or the old-skool 2 cr123a's. the single battery is a superior and cost effective option. It has a killer runtime and 12.4 watt hours capacity-about the same as four rechargeable AA's. CR123 is a thing of the past with the awesome new lithiums.

Batteries are fine in my weapon light that I use everyday on duty. The charger however, does not fit the batteries and you can't find any type of return or exchange after the purchase. You're better off buying some other batteries / charger and paying a little more. Or just buy streamlight/surefire batteries in bulk. At least you'll be able to complain to them if the batteries are bad.

I have the same light and purchased the batteries in the link below. They are decent (you get what you pay for) for what I'm trying to accomplish. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006OHO9I2/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The batteries are known as 18650 and are amazing and rechargeable. Usually located in the "customers also bought these items" section. It's a great light. Durable/tough, bright and is available in 5 Mode, which I would recommend. Also, definitely prefer this over the 502b, which is just not as rugged, but would be lead to believe it is newer and better as it is a higher number. Not sure but off topic.Great light 18650 are the batteries it needs or you could use VERY expensive 2 x cr123 non chargeable batteries. WASTE OF MONEY. GO WITH A PAIR OF 18650 AND A CHARGER for about 10 bucks! Hope it helps. The batteries are known as 18650 and are amazing and rechargeable.

As long as you can find non-rechargeable batteries of the correct size. Some of these lights use unusual size batteries are something that I have only seen in a rechargeable format.

I'm not familiar with the 18650 battery, however if it is the same size and voltage (3V) as the 123A cells that the light calls for, I would think it should work just fine.
