I was skeptical when i looked at it but from my research it was worth a chance. It's an amazing car.
I'm not that kind of girl...really;-)Free? This one's going on my Onlyfans.
Proprietary batteries can mean a couple of things. Sometimes it refers to a fuel cell that is capable of super duper high drain to actually achieve the ridiculous output claimed. Other times it's like a special shaped battery in order to fit in a given product be it flashlight, SLR camera or a cellular phone etc.Olight,Fenix,Malkoff. Still deciding.
On the Olight specifically the Baton series. What do you mean proprietary batteries? If it uses for example a 18650 can't you use any 18650? The batteries are removable or are they not?
No. If a battery is referred to as "Proprietary," doesn't matter if it's also an 18650 or a 21700. If you want your specific model of flashlight from brand X to work, you have to use the specific 18650 or 21700 battery that brand X made for that specific model. Any old generic battery from any brand that is the same size, yeah; those won't work in that specific flashlight.What do you mean proprietary batteries? If it uses for example a 18650 can't you use any 18650?
Depends on the flashlight model. For example, on my Nitecore P10iX, the battery is proprietary. But, I can remove it from the flashlight if the battery gets deleted after use. If I only have that one proprietary battery, I can toss it on an external charger and wait.... or, if I bought a 2nd proprietary battery separately; I can just swap the depleted one for the fresh one and immediately go back to using my P10iX. Many years from now, if that battery gets discontinued by Nitecore, I'm screwed! Eventually my proprietary batteries will get old, won't be able to hold a charge. And then my P10iX becomes a really ugly but interesting light-weight Paper-weight. (You also have the option of charging the battery directly from the flashlight with a charging cable.)The batteries are removable or are they not?
Sound advice lol. For real though this is why you keep an old MagLite or Streamlight Scorpion around along with some spare bulbs and a bunch of batteries. Like a .30 cal ammo can full of them.. Or, very politely ask the Emergency for a Time-Out! Go, charge up the flashlight for however many hours you need to. Come back, then let the Emergency know that it can resume whatever it was doing before your light died on you. Be sure to ask politely though. Good manners are important.
It's also why I always have 3 lights on me, and one larger one in my Work-bag.Sound advice lol. For real though this is why you keep an old MagLite or Streamlight Scorpion around along with some spare bulbs and a bunch of batteries. Like a .30 cal ammo can full of them.
Arkfield batteries are not replaceable. Olight 18650 and 21700 batteries are replaceable in the lights that use them but only with another Olight proprietary battery.So are the Olight batteries non removable? It is really hard to get an answer.
I am seriously considering the Arkfeld Pro 1300lu flat flashlight with the laser and UV all in one light.
It looks like a lot of fun. And it's a very different animal. Anyone have one ?

I have the P10iX.
Realize you are getting a massive wall of light directly in front of you. If you remotely need throw, even for a short distance, it's a horrendously bad choice for that.
In that case, a very good choice. But realize that realistically, you're going to blind him for one actual second. After that, if he doesn't immediately bolt out of your home, you'll have to follow up with either a blast of pepperspray from a smaller fire-extinguisher sized canister or a different type of "blast."The use case scenario is the interior of my home, to illuminate, blind, and disorient an intruder. The maximum distance I would need to light up would be about 7 yards, but realistically, the distances involved would usually be substantially shorter.
