Is there any good non-rechargeable headlights anymore?

Why don't you specify your actual requirements and then accept whatever power source the solution happens to have? You used to see the same thing in digital cameras. Opposition to proprietary batteries because of the ability to buy AA batteries just about anywhere if your NiMH went flat. There were elaborate charging routines with color coding multiple sets of two or four cells. Thankfully that all eventually went away. There are some flashlights that can use one 26650 or three AA batteries, and some that can use one 18650 or three AAA batteries. Those might suit the original poster. 1x26650/3xAA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018Z3QIJU 1x18650/3xAAA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019J0HAQ Actually there are battery holders that should be able to work with most 18650 flashlights, but a 26650 flashlight would need a larger barrel to hold 3 AA cells, so they don't make those adapters. 3xAAA to 18650 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M2YB1PN In the days of LED and good rechargeables, this should be a complete non issue. Just get a hub dynamo and forget all about buying or charging batteries. Yes, hub dynamos are great, though they don't provide sufficient power for lights that are needed in some situations. |
