just daily use but not an EDC i have a cheap aaa as an EDC. i am planning to take this into the jungle also since this one can be charge using usb i can just use my power bank if needed i am attracted to this function actually. correct me if i am wrong, but is this the only flashlight that can be charge using usb on a regular 18650?

got a lot of olight and nitecore can charge via usb oso

like olight s10r/s15r or nitecore MH series

but with the size of a powerbank you're better off with more 18650's instead tongue.gif

fenix uc35 fits your needs biggrin.gif
(failed to help lol)

haha true but i do not have a 18650 charger. oh oh i know about the olight but if i am not wrong those olight can only be used with their battery right? with the uc35 you can just throw any 18650 and it will work and also charge

olight recommends working with their own batts but they're just an ordinary panasonic 3400 cell wrapped with protection.

you can avoid it if you're afraid of battery danger but I don't see a problem as long as it is charging with the correct algorithm

single 18650 charger can be easily made by ripping off dead powerbanks just to use their charge circuit
I'd still recommend you to use proper charging from Xtar or Nitecore.

Charging in a flashlight tube brings me worries about heat and voltage issues where you can't monitor them

(but then again I'm not the right person to speak as I'm using some xxxFire 18650 risking my life because my good cells died) doh.gif  sweat.gif  rolleyes.gif

stay safe and happy charging

yup i got think of that before also but i think i will use the internal charging only when i need it after all our cell phone has being doing it for so long already i don think there will be a very big issue with heat. hahaha you can get xiaomi powerbank and rip off their battery i heard that their 18650 are good quality ones
