Common complaints
Uses proprietary charging cable (not USB-C)Charging port not functional during chargingBattery must be charged inside the flashlight onlyOptional tactical accessories may be sold separately
Limited runtime at maximum output (20 seconds before step-down).Battery charging requires removing the cell due to USB-C port on battery itself.Some complexity in controlling modes due to dual-switch design.
