Can I use NiMH rechargeable battery in this flashlight? Will the light output be lower?

I noticed a very slight difference, but it could have been a placebo affect of taking out the shiny Energizer Lithium battery and putting in white eneloop rechargeable. I'd have to do more research, I thought a one-time use Lithium just lasted longer than NiMH.

Hi, You can use rechargable batteries in the light, not sure if the difference is that noticeable. Thanks!

Yes, a NiMH AA cell works just fine in the ROMEO. I have used an eneloop AA NiMH with no issue. I"ll leave your output question to someone who can quantify with a meter.

No...definitely not. 110 only. Just plug it into any household socket..Charge six hours (110) when you first get it. Then an hour a month to keep it at maximum. If you use the flashlight a lot, you will need to charge more often. But an hour will make it hot again after the initial charge.

I recommend replacing the 1000 mAh batteries with better ones after the originals wear out. One of the comments when I bought my Moonrays was that, " 3 AA NIMH batteries of at least 2000mah capacity for each light," are better. Nickel Metal Hydride batteries aren't cheap but are worth the price.

Hi, be sure you have the batterys in correct, the negative terminal sets on the springs on the adapter,install the adapter with the arrow pointing to the flashlight. If this does not work the adapter might be defective.I took apart one of the batterys that came with my light and found a small battery, the rest of the space was filled with powder, the battery was probably about 500ma not 4200ma.

I believe it is. I read somewhere these lights have a capacitor that regulates the power draw throughout the battery life, and a.low voltage warning when the power is below a certain level..it pays to go with the 18650 rechargeables if your going to use it much , . The top 2 setttings eat batteriesl.

no,when you get the light get the best battery made by nitecore...awesome light....

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.

This is a very good flashlight, but for different battery useage i dont know

This one ... As far as I know, Maglite no longer produce NiCd batteries for the Magcharger, the replacement NiMH battery is, to quote the leaflet that comes with the NiMH battery "The new NiMH battery is a true "drop-in" solution. It will work with ANY and EVERY Mag Charger flashlight and charger, regardless of when they were made." Also, the NiMH battery has a longer "run-time" and doesn't suffer from the old NiCd "memory" problem.

Sorry, I dont know the answer to that question. I really like the flashlight. It has all the power and brightness I could want.

Sorry. I have the 44901 lithium not the 44900 std battery. FWIW. Amp draw has to be marginal Best flashlight I've ever owned BTW.

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.

Fortunately, I do not know because I have yet to change the original batteries that I put in there (granted they are lithiums). It really depends on the batteries you're using but I can tell you -- I bought the $5 pocket flashlights and they burn through batteries. This one seems durable and efficient.

I haven't had it long enough to know and face that dilemma. I had to toss a different brand because I could not access the rechargeable battery. I hope this one can be opened somehow to access what are usually very NiMH standard batteries, but I don't know. Good luck. Maybe Waring can tell you.

Yes. Standard AAA batteries will not work. Had I known this would not have bought the light.

The flashlight uses a pair of 123A batteries. So yes, rechargeable 123A batteries will work.

Bob, do not know the numbers for output, but I know I replaced my angle military type flashlight 2 D's and the change in light made me to decide to not get rid of the old Nam style light. I personally think you will be most satisfied with the Nite Ize brand.
