GIVEAWAY CLOSED, Congratulations William Larson for winning the T3, debbie ann wilson for winning the TN12 Pro and Greg Leong for winning the Ti2!
Thanks to any who took part.
Nice Review! I like rechargeable batteries that can be removed and replaced. Having a charging port on the light is really nice; especially for travel and away from home. Primary Alkaline batteries tend to leak on me; especially with how long batteries last in some lights. With an AAA battery light, I use LSD NiMH externally recharged, Or Primary Lithium AAA's usually Eveready Ultimate as they have best capacity and never leak.
I'll stick with my rechargeables.
Thanks for the great info, Cutlerylover!
I like the recharging batteries but you make a lot of good points! Thank you😁
Has anyone found a NiMH battery with a good fit for the Ti2 light? Alkaline fit no problem, but not AAA eneloop rechargables. It is very tough to screw the head down enough to turn it on.
Every light has a different purpose. I like both models that are rechargeable and ones that use disposable batteries. I select my daily carry light based on the events for the day, what I’m doing, and where I’m going. Always make sure to have both extra batteries and cables in the truck just in case. Great video!
Please don't forget that most LED flashlights that accept disposable batteries such as the AA or AAA batteries will also work fine on low self discharge NIMH rechargable batteries, although they will perform differently compared to disposable alkaline batteries and you will need to use an external NIMH charger to recharge them.
The difference between 1.2v NIMH batteries compared to the normal 1.5v disposable alkaline batteries is often not a serious problem for most LED flashlights to cope with.
One of the biggest reasons I switch over to rechargeable batteries is the cost & the inconvenience of not having extra AAA batteries on hand when I need it the most.
My favorite is the rechargeable removable battery, they're way more bright and you can always have a fully charged cell in case that you need it, love the TN12 Pro, especially in that color 🔥👌
Looking for a bright handheld tactical flashlight for my dad for Christmas which he’ll use for work ,something bright. What light do you recommend?
I have both types and they both have pros and cons. The reviewer mentions some very good points. Great video.
Good points all the way around. I carry both rechargeable and replaceable but I also carry a power bank to recharge if need be and always carry spare alkaline batteries because you just never know
me too
great video and good information. Love my Thrunite rechargeable lights. My daily is the T1s right now it's been great.
Good information. I’ve been thinking about this lately.
Love the rechargeable! love Thrunight. You guys put out solid flashlights. Thanks for the review
I would need a rechargeable which atleast last for 6 to 8 hours for fishing.. any recommendations?
For edc definitely prefer the rechargeable, but obviously the ability to swap batteries in the field with alkaline is great for backup.
Starting to get ready for holiday gifts. Flashlights are great gifts. Love to win the giveaway and be able to give the recipient multiple lights
Aha, now I finally understand how you can reuse/recharge some batteries and some other you just throw away and replace with new ones, pfffff, mind blowing. Goood review, keep it up! :)
Thanks for the info.
Thanks Cutlerylover for a comprehensive video on the subject of rechargeables. The only thing you didn't cover is how big a disadvantage proprietary batteries are. That is the big problem I have with one of Thrunites competitors, the poor longevity of the competitors proprietary batteries.
great point!
Great point brother great point!!!!!!
Thanks for the information. I own both types of flashlight and as you said each has its place
Thanks for the review. I have both, but prefer the rechargeable flaslights.
Great review!
Love my thrunite T1. It's been abuses and still works as new
Good information for people looking into a purposeful light. Every light has purpose.
alright, but how do they perform in action?
For me, who rides a bicycle quite often at night, a flashlight using a rechargeable battery is more appropriate than a disposable battery. This is true both in economic terms and in environmental terms.
I love the idea of a rechargeable flashlight and would like to get a Thrunite one ASAP ‼️
Great video. Will go for the rechargeable batteries.
Good video link to share with nephews/nieces for flashlight basics.
Thank you for your, as usual, good review. I generally prefer internal rechargeable batteries that easily can be replaced like the the Thrunite T3and TN12 Pro. There are also some flashlights on the market that can take bout rechargeable and non rechargeable batteries, if you want to use booth types in different situations...
thanks guys, u.s. marine vet here 93' to 97' active and i would love to won these real gems there , 1000% cool , keep em coming , talk soon > tom !
Definitely rechargeable, with a disposable as backup.
I'm the same. I like a combination of both. But the rechargeables are very nice. Alot of power & better run times. That T3 is a great light. Very small for a 21700. That Desert Tan TN12 PRO is next on my list. 😎👍
Sweet!!!
For regular home and work flashlights I prefer the rechargeable ones. But for going on a trip, camping, SHTF situations, etc standard replaceable battery form factor, such as AA, AAA, etc, is more important to me. You can still get them in a rechargeable option too, but if I have access to electricity to charge them then I probably don't need them for those kinds of situations to begin with, with an exception, maybe, if you recharge them off a solar power or a bigger battery bank of sorts.
I love rechargeable batteries. They are so convenient and even better when I can just plug in the flashlight.
I like the rechargeable feature of the Thrunite lights.
I much prefer the rechargeable batteries. Great review.
Thank you
Man time to upgrade to one of these, my old torch is really unreliable
The T3 would be a great addition to my Thrunite collection. I no longer buy devices that aren't rechargeable with replaceable batteries. Why would anyone want to have to constantly toss out batteries and need to purchase new ones or to have to carry all of the extra weight when outdoors. My flashlights (TC-12, TN12-Pro, TT20), headlamps, emergency radio, cell phone, GPS, Kindle, etc..) are all rechargeable. I have only ever had one issue with a Thrunite battery, and they immediately corrected the issue once I contacted them.
I own all three lights on the left and they all have their own special purposes. The T 3 and TN 12 pro are always on the ready when the power goes off. My go to edc is the TN 12. I keep extra batteries on hand for all my lites. Thrunite has been my favorite brand for the past 7 years starting with the old TN 12 with a third party charger . I recommend them to all my “ good” friends
Looks good
I prefer rechargeable battery flashlights. I believe also, on my Thrunite flashlight, the small light on the power button will turn "Red" when changing is soon required. At least you have some time to use your flashlight. Informative video. Thank You...
Nice EDCs✌
WOW!
I agree with Peter Mogish above (below?), re: rechargeable batteries that can be removed and replaced. That's the ideal!
That's why I like My rechargeable but also takes double A edc light and for my big boy high power punch u in the face i use my tn12 pro. I'm still tryna figure a way to carry both comfortably. I also carry two knives edc and a stab u in the butt leave me alone knive. But I carry tpt slide as my box cutter so I don't know where I'm going with this I think I have a problem.
I love the ThruNite TC20 V2 , it would be an awesome upgrade to my airsoft gun, to play games at night with friends :)
Excellent
T3 is a beast! Love all rechargeables.
I like my 18650's. Got plenty and maintain all of them once a month. Usually just by popping them in my battery charger check the voltage and if need be top them off. I really enjoy flashlights like my nitecore P30 that display the battery voltage without having to remove the battery. But my TN12's are my main go to edc lights anyway. Those and my WOWTAC A1 and A1S. But my problem is I could always use more thrunite flashlights. I keep giving them away as gifts to family and friends.
T3 looks really nice, love the 21700 battery
I have 4 Ti2 lights one of the lights will take a rechargeable AAA battery but the other three don't,much to my disappointment. I love that my TH20 headlamp takes both AA and rechargeable batteries.
I carry my THRUNIGHT TC15 V2 with me all the time. The other ones that require throw away batteries are kept at home.
Excellent points to consider! Nice job Cutlerylover!
My 3 cents;
1. [For Keychain lights] Don't get one with button cells. Most small, disposable batteries are expensive, and they add up quickly. It's far cheaper to get a rechargeable one.
2. [For Mid Lights] Some flashlights have dual power sources. They run on rechargeable batteries, but they can take disposable batteries in a pinch.
These are great, because you don't have to buy extra batteries, but you still have the option to run them constantly if you want.
3. [For Larger Lights] If you are going to use a flashlight all the time, rechargeable batteries will be much cheaper than disposable ones. Also, avoid getting a flashlight with a built-in battery. Flashlights like the TN12 Pro can run constantly because you can simply swap batteries and keep rolling. You can't swap your built-in battery.
Nice
A flashlight that provides dual chemical would be the best, but unfortunately there are very few such products...
very nice.
These videos are informative but lengthy they could be more concise .
😄Good advice
Since the newer lights have the charging port and I have a center console in the vehicle with both 12v and USB capabilities, It's a done deal. Love um.
For my EDC I prefer rechargeble cells or light with recharging capability for emergency use I leave torches with disposable cells(but with long expiry) as they only get used in case of power outage.
I've become a big fan of the rechargeables. More expensive at first. But definitely with the investment,!!!!
I rather rechargeable batteries I think for as many recharges that you get from one battery you save all the throw a ways and the cost of too as long as you can get a replacement battery years later and updated flashlights don't make it obsolete another good video
Great
Recharge is the way to go for me
I like to carry both rechargeable and disposable. However, a rechargeable light would be primary for an EDC. A disposable light would be my primary for use around the house most of the time for me.
I like rechargeables. Are you going to have a black Friday sale?
Love dissss
I feel strongly that we need to get past disposable things as being wasteful and polluting. Single use batteries should (mostly) be a thing of the past. Fortunately we have low self discharge rechargeable NiMH batteries for AAA, AA, etc. instead of alkaline batteries; it is just as easy to carry a a spare NiMH battery as an alkaline one, and recharging is very low effort. I feel the same way about flashlights: a flashlight should not be thrown away because it is not designed to allow for a battery replacement - simply do not buy them. I do find the internal charging circuits in ThruNite flashlights to be a great convenience, especially when travelling, but this is in addition to a replaceable battery - not instead of one. Lithium batteries are to be preferred for their large capacity, which results in brighter and longer lasting flashlights. Even for a small pocket flashlight it is preferable to go for a small lithium rather than a AAA, by a long way. Coin cells should be avoided if possible as they are disposable, low power, and expensive - literally the worst of all worlds. If one looks hard it is possible to find tiny keychain flashlights that use Li-ion 10180 batteries (i.e. 18mm long x 10mm diameter), put out 300 lumens, and even have USB recharging, so there is no need to use coin cells (maybe something TN might want to offer?).
We can collect three AAs to produce 18650 battery-class voltage, but the opposite is impossible. For general users, it is recommended to use a rechargeable battery.
I like flashlights with battery you can replace, even if they are AAA I will use rechargeable AAA. When you can recharge flashlight with USB using standard cable it's a big bonus. My choice for serious use in camping is 18650 flashlight with spare 18650 battery in case it runs out when it's dark.
I like my ThruNite Ti2 on my keychain
I like single AA lights that can use a 14500 battery. If the rechargable battery dies then you can get a battery from a gas station or dollar store that will last till you can recharge the dead one.
I use rechargeables just because I hate always going to the store
It is good to always have rechargeable batteries in flashlights.
I too like rechargeable batteries that can be replaced, that is a big selling feature.
Rechargeable for edc light. Battery powered for camping and what not for me.
Rechargeable is the only way to go for EDC. Carrying batteries isn't convenient, and going shopping for batteries is a pain in the rectum these days now that you have to get at employee to open a case to buy batteries in most stores here on the West Coast.
win win !
I just buy surefire rechargeable 123 batteries for my 123 flashlights, so I can switch em out in a pinch, and then charge em when I get home.
Rechargeable > Disposable, but Removable is King.
Chargers are available all over the place these days. Batteries you have to buy. When you buy in a pinch you end up overpaying.
I like recharge
Actually this torch with not removable battery is visible 4 screws for opening. Probably is possible to be opened and replaced damaged battery. . 2nd very important is nobody told here about 1.5V AA or AAA batteries li-ion. It is not 1.2V is 1.5V and is big difference with old type Batteries. Of course everything is about size of torch. Small size small battery.
I prefer the rechargeable
Rechargeable with a removable battery means u can still swap the battery out instead of waiting to charge. Just be careful how u pack your batteries with u
im team rechargeable
If there is a disaster and there is no power to charge your flashlight…
Hello
@thrunite I need a long range light, what do you got?
Saying 'external’ is a rather strange way of saying things. "Externally charged”, ok. But just ‘external’? 🤷♂️
