Battery Safety

Olight recommends the use of Olight-brand batteries in Olight illumination tools since there have been reported incidents of fires or explosions caused by counterfeit/inferior-quality batteries. However, for Olight products without designated batteries like I3E, I3T, and I5T, Olight recommends the use of Panasonic, Duracell, and Energizer batteries. Trademarks of companies herein are mentioned for identification purposes only and are the property of their respective companies. Olight performance claims are based on the use of batteries that initially ship with Olight illumination tools or herein recommended. Failure to follow the instructions below may cause damage to your Olight illumination tool, and greatly reduce its runtime and output performance, which may also void the warranty policy by Olight.

Do's & Don'ts for Battery Handling

•Do follow the terminal signs indicated on the Olight illumination tool to insert accordingly the positive(+) and negative(-) terminals of the battery.

•Do replace all used batteries with new batteries of the size and type specified in the operating instructions.

•Do use only the charger provided with the Olight illumination tool for charging the rechargeable batteries.

•Do have the Olight rechargeable batteries fully charged before long time storage, which is recommended to be repeated every 6 months during the storage.

•Do keep the battery contact surfaces dry and clean by rubbing gently with a dry cloth.
