    The problem with rechargeable batteries is that they could fail without warning, with the regular ones you can see them getting dimmer. That's why you don't see rechargeable batteries in military and tactical LEM applications.

    • @handheldlightreviews
      @handheldlightreviews  10 місяців тому +1

    • @Durablesilver
      @Durablesilver 8 місяців тому +5

      rechargeable batteries are used plenty of times for certain things such as radios in military applications, as for weapon accessories for military, regular batteries work just fine since it's easier to just carry extra batteries then to find a way to recharge them during an exercise. weaponlights are also rarely used for military purposes.
      As for LE you just don't see rechargeable that often because it hasn't become mainstream yet basically most of the super reputable weapon accessories market don't have a model that uses rechargeable batteries, because here once again it's simpler to switch batteries then to wait for an accessory to recharge. Though I suspect with time LE will move to rechargeable accessories.
      Military however likely will adopt a hybrid approach of swappable rechargeable batteries and disposable batteries, as rechargeable batteries simplifies logistics to a degree and can allow a unit to operate in the field for a bit longer without resupply given they have a method of recharging their batteries, Albeit the limiting factor will still be food and water reserves.
      the hard truth is both rechargeable and disposable batteries can go out at unexpected times, and oftentimes at inconvenient times so the real answer is to frequently check and change out batteries with usage.

      @@rfcdgaf lmao, in a training environment yes rechargeables are used, and the disposables saved for the clu, but in actual patrol in theater disposables were nice if they were around, as you could bury them once they were dead and drop weight instead of carrying them back like you would have to with the rechargeables. but it depends on if you had extra disposables or not.

    With activation running the length of the forend, do you find yourself activating the light every time you cycle a round, even when you didn't want or need light?

    • @handheldlightreviews
      @handheldlightreviews  10 місяців тому +2

      If you have really large hands or long fingers, you might. But the part that your hand touches the most is rather bulbous and most of your hand's grip is there and not on the pressure pad.
