Bike Lights Rechargeable Vs Battery

This is actually my 3rd flashlights of the XP6R. This is a very compact flashlight that feels good in the hand and provides the best light of any other flashlight I've had. Toggling between the narrow beam and the wide splash lights is quick and easy with a good locking system. Appreciate the rechargeable batteries in these units as well, they last much longer than I anticipated. One negative on the rechargeable battery thought is you have no telling how much battery is actually left and when the battery is dead it literally just dies on you...no fading just cuts off. Another negative on the battery is that you have to remove the cap to access the charging of the battery and it uses the older USB style port. Wish there was a low battery indicator to know when I need to throw it on the charge, but I will say the battery does charge quickly. I keep these lights at all my doors to take my dog out at night, with 40 acres of woods right behind me there are a lot of things that come out of those that I don't want to run into at short distance so being able to see everything from 60 yards out with these flashlights makes for good peace of mind. In all, highly recommend the XP6R flashlight. Also, saving a few dollars on the Open Box Samples was great, came with all the accessories and in brand new condition...couldn't tell the difference from my NIB purchases.

Impressive construction lightweight and brightness that lights up any situation. Rechargeable battery pack keeps you from going broke buying batteries as most lights on the market do today. I am so glad to have found this company and believe that they can surpass and do surpass what is out there today.

A workhorse in the Coast fleet of lights. I haven’t owned this light very long, however, it is now my goto light and I have over 10 Coast Lights. As an environmental manager working on the largest subway project in New York City, I use this light for getting around in the tunnels (pure focusing beam) and taking environmental samples (dual color LED strips). The magnetic end cap allows me to position the light most anywhere for sampling or note-taking. Additionally, the light is virtually indestructible/waterproof which makes it perfect for my use. I also have the rechargeable battery so I can use it with four AA’s or the rechargeable battery. I definitely recommend the flashlight for anything you could throw at it.

Great light but getting the rechargeable battery will make you use it so much more often.

This battery is everything I would expect out of a quality rechargeable battery.

Quality, well made and designed rechargeable battery.

I love the fact that the battery is rechargeable!

This is the very best light for night bike riding and other uses. I have many lights this has to be my number one

Great rechargeable battery! Can't really rate it yet. It is my backup battery. I will know more when I need to use it!

It's great to have a rechargeable battery...I use the headlamp all of the time!
