    I like the slim 1” head diameter.

    I'm new to rechargable batteries and flashlights. Can somebody dumb this down for me? I ordered the nitecore charger and 16340 battery from Malkoff

    battery voltage should be checked often to avoid damage to the cell.

    The input voltage of the Head is*3 -*6 volts. Input voltages of more than*6 volts may damage this flashlight.

    This light is protected against reverse polarity

    The Nitecore will stop charging the cell when it reaches 4.2v The head requires a minimum of 3 volts to operate and cannot use over 6 volts without potential damage.

    In practice, you'll probably want to recharge your cell by or before it gets down to around 3.75v. You can use a multi-tester or just pop it in the Nitecore charger and it will give you the voltage readout and automatically start charging. Remove when it's complete or beforehand if you need to use it.

    The cell shouldn't exhibit a memory effect so you can do partial charges whenever is convenient, with the proviso that you always do so before letting the voltage drop too low.

    Why do you want a strobe option?

    I like it for a primary mode for a defensive light as it facilitates movement and deception of my position and otherwise doesn't negatively impact its primary function. It's a kinda niche thing but the effect is quite strong if used well. I've had a few encounters in the street where it may have influenced an unknown contact, or made me look like a weirdo with a blinky light. Either way I didn't have to shoot someone.

    It brings flashbacks and makes me feel like I'm in a disco and under the influence. I'd rather just forget the entire era ever happened.

    Thanks for sharing that. I liked the strobe button on the Klarus XT2C, but I retired it because it kept turning itself on in my pocket and the only way to get it off was to unscrew the tailcap. It gets really hot really fast.. not fun
