will a 3.7v / 3.6v li-ion 14500 battery work with this flashlight?

I don't think so, only the standard AA battery will work and is really reliable. Use a Duracell. I had this flashlight for 5 months now, and it still works nicely. Very strong beam, and the strobe is highly effective.

I have the same issues! I have had great success with the 750ma (green) batteries, so I ordered some of these 900ma (blue) batteries hoping for longer life. Instead I got varying voltages, higher than 3.0V that the flashlight did not like, plus, they are slightly bulkier and get stuck in the flashlight. They should be built to the same standard, but they are Not!

1.5v primary lithium should be fine. Don't use the 3.7v but I don't have any to test for you. Check in the candlepower forum's to get a more knowledgable answer. Don't want you to fry your light on the count of me. Those guys over at the forums are very knowledgable with this sort of thing.

Radio Shack Brand Ultralast #18500 Lithium Phosphate 3.2V Battery. I dont normally do this but i am suggesting you return that flashlight while u still can. I had purchased two and had to return one almost instantly after receiving it and the second is dead. No matter how many diff fully charged batteries i replace in it, it refuses to work. Trust me SEND IT BACK. Pelican makes a less exspensive dive light that works very well.

I am not sure. I have the BRC 18650 3000 mAh 3.7 li-ion 2 battery recharge pack. And that works great. The light itself for the cost I feel I made an excellent choice

14500 1200mah 3.6V Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery (Pair) + Charger Combo if you use these batteries it will be brighter than if you use a standard AA battery. cree bulbs can handle more voltage than a AA can put out.

i haven't recieved my amazon order for this yet but have one from a previouse merchant. it is made to handle lithium 14500 rechargable, or standard AA batteries. just put one in and try it. works great!

AA batteries will not work with this light. A single 18650 battery is what is recommended preferably a Panasonic or Tenergy 18650....most of the 18650 batteries sold are junk like ulrafire and trustfire.This is the one you need for your AA batteries--> UltraFire 7w 300lm Mini Cree Led Flashlight Torch Adjustable Focus Zoom Light Lamp

The correct size is a double A. I tried a non-rechargable type, which is 1.5 volts, and was pleased with how bright it was. I would expect a rechargeable 1.2 volt battery to give a lower brightness. The rechargeable type 14500 battery that came with the flashlight I ordered is a less common type that is rated at 3.7 volts. It gives a very bright light.

Sounds like they sent you a flashlight that takes 18650 batteries that are slightly larger than the 14500 batteries. Is the shaft too long and just a tad too wide. If so it means it is for the 18650 batteries. Go to any store that specializes in batteries, take the flashlight and see if the 18650 batteries fit in it. If they do, they sent the wrong flashlight or the wrong batteries.

No, I don't recommend using a 3.6 volt battery in place of a 1.5 volt battery unless the flashlight specifically says you can. You will burn the LED driver circuit out in most cases.

Mine has a AA size battery but is a rechargeable Lithium, it is 4.2 volts fully charged and 2.75 V drained. Mine is a UltraFire LC 14500 1200mAh 3.7 Volt. The 7 Watt light needs lots of current, You need the charger and 2 batteries if plan on using it a lot.

Hi Ai:According to the specs for your light, this battery should work fine.Just make sure to check that the volt and mah are compatible. You can go a little lower on volt and mah but not higher otherwise you risk damaging the light.RegardsKathy

It should work. It works great for my fenix pd35. The battery is a little longer than most 18650's but if there is a spring in the flashlight there should be plenty of play.

My light works fine with 1.5v AA batteries. But the 3.7v Li Ion batteries make it brighter.

I just checked mine. It has the 18650 Li-Ion Battery in it. (Had to get my rifle out of the case to check it!). If you bought one of the flashlights and they sent the wrong battery, you should get in touch with them. The 18650 Battery DOES fit. (I have 3 of them!)

The mAh does not matter, but I am unsure what the 2.6 means. As long as it is 3.7V, it should work.
