Does this flashlight use both 18650 batteries included? I'm assuming it used both batteries in series to produce a brighter light. Thanks

Yes. It is the longer version. It is a great flashlight and is very bright. You will enjoy it. It also has a great zoom feature. You may want to look at Panasonic batteries too.

I didn't notice a difference in light output but two batteries provide a longer battery life. This flashlight unscrews in the middle so you can make it a one cell also.

Yes. This flashlight uses both batteries in series and has a very bright light. Great flash light. If you are buying it as a gift buy two and treat yourself too.

Just one at a time. Its convenient to have a fully charged battery on standby

Yes it uses both batteries in series. Battery life is only 10 - 15 min if used continuously. Twice as bright, half as long

I did not receive 2 batteries with the fast chargers, just the one battery in the flashlight. I thought it came with 2 batteries as well.

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!)

i just looked that flashlight up on amazon and it said it takes 2-cr123a or 1-... 18650 and that is the battery you are asking about ...so yes you can use that battery

When I ordered batteries for my flash light, I received (2) BRC 18650 3000m Ah batteries and (1) charger that has the capability of charging both batteries at same time. My flashlight only held (1) of the batteries. I keep one on charge and one in the flashlight.

This light can use 3 AAA batteries but if you install the Lithium Ion 18650 @3600 Mah you will get a battery that has almost 6 times the power available as the AAA's. The 18650 is available with a charger for less than $10 and is absolutely worth the extra expense.

I own 2 of these lights. It's 3 instead of 2. You want to use the extension and use 3 batteries because this flashlight uses a lot of power. Try to buy your 18650 batteries in multiples of 3... such as a dozen.

Either one 18650 lithium battery or two CR123A batteries will do. My favorite flashlight because it is the brightest one for it's size. Plenty bright outdoors and brightness can be reduced for indoors. Nice wide beam. Fits in your pocket. Don't order from China though. I've gotten two pieces of junk from there. Pay a couple of extra dollars and order directly from Amazon. You won't be disappointed.

The flashlight uses only 1 battery at a time! Battery life is good with this light! But its nice to have that extra battery i case you have need to use light for an extented period of time! Enjoy!!

I got the light and a holster. I have to disagree with William - I noticed no difference between Ultrafire 26650 and Samsung 18650 (I guess Ultrafire overstates its capacity). Also no increase in brightness by using 3 batteries - just more heat.

It will not work with 18650s... The flashlight is a smaller diamater than a 18650. It operates on a single AA battery (at reduced performance) or a single 14500 battery.

The light output is only slightly less with the 18650 when the AAAs are new, but unless you were to view two flashlights side by side you wouldn't notice a difference. Even then the difference is very small. The big differences are the AAAs discharge quickly compared to the 18650, and of course the 18650 is rechargeable. I found a low cost charger with two 18650 batteries combo and it has been great. I used to use a CREE using a single AA due to the high drain of the Ostart, but now I am using the Ostart all the time. The 18650 is a big winner.

This particular flashlight requires a #18650 lithium-ion rechargeable battery. When you purchase the battery, try to get a combo deal where you can get two batteries AND a charger. I also suggest you seek a high mAh. battery as it will give you longer performance time and if needed, you'll have the second battery as backup.

Both work. You can put either 2 or 3 18650 batteries in it. If you want to use 2 batteries, you can just take the last pipe on the flashlight away. The last pipe on the flashlight is designed to be taken away. But I really do not think 2-18650-battery can support the flashlight for long time. 3-26650-battery can support the flashlight less then two hours. When you use the flashlight indoor, it will work even shorter because it will become very hot. Also,There are inner pipes which can be taken our and which specially design for 18650 batteries. Those inner pipes can easily be taken out. You must put those inner pipe in to fit 18650 batteries. Actually, there is a video about 8500lm flashlight on YouTube, you can just search " 8500lm flashlight". I really do not know how many watts it has. I guess it may have about 50 watts. I know the HID headlights in cars normally have about 55 watts with 12v storage batteries. This flashlight has 11.1v.

I have a lot of different UltraFire flashlights. All are very bright. if the model does not use the 3.7V Lithium battery, the model is designed for three AAA batteries. I never saw a model that uses AA batteries.

Dear Brian, this flashlight doesn't come with batteries and charger. When I bought the flash light, I also bought the combo charger and battery and an extra pair of battery to alternate. You have to charge all the batteries before using. I, myself change the battery every day because I use the flash light every day. I'm now happy with this product and It is a useful gift

Light takes one (1) 18650 battery. You will receive two (2) 18650 batteries and one (1) charger.
