Can I use standard non rechargeable (alkaline) batteries in this flashlight ?

Yes, that is what I have in the flashlight now. I liked this so much I bought two more.

Those batteries can replace regular aa in certain items only.They give more power than the regular aa but have to be used only in compatible items.For example they are great in this flashlight UltraFire 7w 300lm Mini Cree Led Flashlight Torch Adjustable Focus Zoom Light Lamp

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've used only alkaline batteries in them. But you can use any type of AA batteries. I like them a lot.

I have only converted single buld flashlights with this bulb. I keep the original bulb as a spare in case the Dorcy stops working. With regard to rechargable batteries, they will work, although they may not be as bright as alkaline batteries due to the lower voltage.

Per the listed info and the charger label customer photo, NO. This is a NiMH and NiCad charger which can also partially revive alkaline batteries which I have almost given up using due to their well known leakage issues and lousy high current capability. Use alkalines in a $100+ high power flashlight, NO WAY! Unless a charger specifically Lists the ability to charge Lithium Ion batteries then it will not do so. Their high voltages and wide ranging chemistries mean that only a few specific chargers can even handle all commonly available versions of Lithium Ion cells. The XTAR VP2 charger can handle almost all Lithium Ion chemistries and voltages but is not NiMH & NiCad compatible.

Several thousand pictures on high-end alkaline batteries. Don't use cheap batteries or rechargeables--Good Luck!!

no, because in order to check a non rechargeable battery you have to charge that battery first. And you cannot charge alkaline batteries.

I do not have that specific flashlight, so I cannot give a definitive yes or no answer. If the regulator inside the flashlight can handle the increased voltage that these batteries output compared to a standard battery, it should work. They won't last as long as a standard battery or a standard rechargeable battery, and they may not increase the brightness either.

I don't trust alkaline anymore. Had more than my fair share of ruined electronics from the leaking batteries. I have used NiMHs since then and never had any trouble. Get Eneloop or any other LSD NiMH's, they work the best and you can store the flashlight with the batteries without ever worrying that alkalines could ruin it. Just keep an eye on the voltages and recharge every 7-10 months depending on whether you use the flashlight much. If you use the flashlight a lot you will most likely need to recharge the batteries more often.

You can use rechargeable AA batteries, but it does not come with them, just regular ones. And the voltage is 120v standard US outlet.

As far as I know you must replace the batteries, not charge them. And it is poorly designed electrically/electronically to use any type of rechargeable battery. I know as I tired. It drains a rechargeable to darn quick. Alkaline are not much better, even though it was designed for those. I went back to using manual mechanical ones.

Sorry, but I cannot answer this, as I have never tried other than alkaline batteries.

Yes I see no problem utilizing rechargeable batteries. Hope this helps. Very useful light.

The flashlight I bought did not include the charger or rechargeable battery, I purchased these separately later. FYI, you may decide not to purchase the rechargeable batteries and use 2 regular batteries instead.

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. You need to buy the rechargeable ones. I would recommend this flashlight or the Klarus X10
