Make the right battery choice

Flexibility, Maximum power or cheapest running cost?

Light use & Medium use

Do you use your torch or headlamp:

1. 5-30 minutes or less, at the time

2. 2-3 times a week or less

Then a torch or headlamp with dry batteries is the best choice for you, because dry batteries are very good in devices that consumes power over a long period of time, and aren’t used for long durations of time. In addition, dry batteries have the advantage of being easy accessible, which means that you can replace the drained batteries with fresh ones instantly.

Heavy Use & Medium use

Do you use your torch or headlamp as below, you are a heavy user:

1. 30 minutes or more each time

2. 3 times a week or more, or for long durations

If you use your torch or headlamp as a part of your everyday life, a rechargeable battery is the right choice for you. Rechargeable batteries can pack more power than normal batteries, and can run a high output torch with a stable constant output for long periods of time.

Safe use around rechargeable batteries

Proper usage and safe handling guidelines

1. Overheating, explosion or fire can occur if batteries are left      in very high temperatures

2. Do not disassemble, puncture, or damage the battery in any way.

3. The battery cannot handle hard impacts.

4. Do not throw lithium-ion secondary batteries, drop them from      high places, or otherwise subject them to strong impacts. Doing so may      cause overheating, explosion or fire.

5. Batteries can be harmed if charged in hot environments

6. Do not place combustible materials on top of or over a      lithium-ion secondary battery when recharging or discharging. Doing so may      result in overheating, explosion or fire.
