Finally upgraded the flashlights in my house after the ones we had got a wee bit old.
Decided on https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FK5XYN4?psc=1&smid=A2N4P33Z7UPC2W&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp to replace all the ones we had (failing rechargeable lantern, 2 rechargeable Anker flashlights from 2016, etc). Had some MagLite LED flashlights but they kept losing power as I shook the flashlight so I gave those away.
What surprised me was, I was really hoping to find a rechargeable flashlight with USB C and I really didn't find anything I liked.
The GearLight above at least takes AAA and I know I can get rechargeable AAAs and or Made in USA AAAs so I figured ok, I'll just do that. The flashlight also takes 18650 batteries but after spending considerable time on Amazon looking at these, I couldn't find a reputable company that I'd trust. Also, the manual for this flashlight states I need to take out the 18650 battery when not in use?! https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2429036/Gearlight-S1050.html?page=2#manual.
Thought about this https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Tactical-Flashlight-Rechargeable-Water-Resistant/dp/B01KH2JP5G/ref=sr_1_2?crid=245U4WHYHQ5H4&keywords=anker+flashlight&qid=1694019118&sprefix=anker+flashligh,aps,211&sr=8-2 but I'm done with micro-USB cables. Our old 2016 Anker flashlights still work really well today (original battery) but getting rid of micro-usb.
Questions: Anyone recommend good AAA batteries for LED flashlights? I'd like to go rechargeable AAA as I already have a charger. The last AAA flashlight I tried leaked after a few months of light usage years ago... <shrug>.
Any thoughts/suggestions/recommendations welcome - thank you!
