Does anyone know what other battery will work with this light? Or what to ask for when getting from another company?

I have two different MS lights form 3 years apart and they both have the same connection. I just bought the new high capacity battery from MS for the old lamp and it works great.

Ordered newer version for a friend he plugged into my battery and ruined his light. Plug is the same, but voltage not compatible. Order the proper battery

Keith, Spokegrenade has a very similar light. I use the the batteries interchangeably between my Spokegrenade and Magic Shine head lights with no ill effect. Both charge and discharge normally on either lighting system.

Any 18650 battery will do. The higher the mAh you buy the in these the longer the light will run between charges. I'd stick with name brand 18650's BTW - Panasonic, Samsung, etc. The low cost/low quality 18650 are certainly cheap but they can be dangerous.

I have not had my light that long...prehaps the rechargeable battery is the problem. Have you contacted the makers of the light?? I don't remember if it had a certain life of the battery when I bought mine.

It's kind of stupid that the product description doesn't say what kind of batteries. I had the exact same question when I was looking at this page. The manufacturer's website says CR2032, 1 each for the two lights, and battery lasts upto 100 hours. Manufacturer's website also says batteries are included, don't know if that is true with this amazon vendor though.

I can't say for specifically for that light but I recommend being very cautious. The voltage on these batteries run higher than standard (Duracell or Energizer) batteries and they burnt the circuitry in my Gander Mtn. 350 Lumen Tactical light. I could smell the burnt electronics inside.

I also received a defective light. I ordered 3 because I really like the light and wanted to have spares. One of the lights also would not hold a charge. I returned the light throughout Amazon and asked for a replacement and actually got the replacement before I could mail the bad one back. Great service. Just go to your account and look at your orders. Then mark that you want to return or replace the light. The new light worked just like it should.

I would guess so but then again I would rather use a reliable streamlight brand battery instead for their product

Yes, I did change the battery in mine because it wasn't working. I have two lights and one quit working. I bought replacement batteries and changed them with no problem, but the one still didn't work. Unless you know it it the battery for sure, I would not waist your money on new batteries if it just doesn't work.

The battery is a CR2 3 volt battery. Depending on how much you use the light it should last many months. I have mine on a Glock 19 that I use for home defense as a night stand gun and the battery lasted over a year. I would definitely recommend this light. Great price. Great quality.

I had the opposite problem with my 1st order, as everything was too loose and the light wouldn't stay on. This company has one of the friendliest customer service team. I emailed them and promptly got a response thanking me for the feedback so they could take up the problem with the manufacturer/distributor. They also sent another light out to me right away, and this one works without a problem. I have not tried rechargeable batteries. Maybe you can ask them when you contact them. Best of luck.

Sure. Any 12v battery will work. The length of time it will light is proportional to the capacity of the battery. These lights are pretty powerful so don't expect the battery to last very long.

Wow, not from me, as I'm just an owner of the light, not a supplier of the light. What I do if I were you is head up to your local Ace Hardware or another quality hardware store with light in hand and see what they might be able to do for you!

Tom, I got my battery from the manufacture but I think you could check places like Battery Plus. They may have the battery or a similar set up. Good luck!

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. Protected 18650 Rechargeable Batteries Plus Charger (2pcs)

I don't know if there are for this specific battery model, but I've never had any battery life issues from this light. I'm still using the batteries that came with the light and I've had this for 6 months.

I'm kind of having the same issue. The new batteries I have put in, die fast. I have been using regular store bought batteries. I know there are higher power batteries sold at places like Batteries Plus, that are specifically designed for high lumen flashlights. Might be worth looking into if you want to have optimum performance from your flashlight. I recently ordered a Zebralight SC52. Waiting on it now, but also ordered a $10 high powered AA battery to use in it. It was a battery they sell, and recommend. If you still don't have good light after trying these batteries, I would send it back, or try an exchange, because these Nebo Redlines are pretty cool. Good Luck. Hope I helped in some way.
