Olight i3E EOS Keychain Flashlight + iXV Coral Blue Flashlight Expired

Firstly the i3E mentioned in this thread uses AAA batteries which do not explode. The gift rechargeable light uses a single low power non-replaceable cell, a type with no known safety issues.

Secondly, and this is pointed out in your link to the Reddit thread, as I understand it, Joyner died six years ago after incorrectly inserting batteries not designed for his flashlight. He inserted a mix of non-rechargeable battery types of low quality. Three things to note: (1) mixing cell types (2) wrong cell type and (3) This is only possible with high power flashlights where two or more replaceable cells are used. (4) By their very nature any hermetically sealed flashlight can explode if battery use rules are ignored.

None of the flashlights in this thread are high power or are multi-cell types. Few users here are interested in buying these expensive models but if they did they have the option of selecting protected cells. AFIK all Olight multi-cell rechargeable lights use safe proprietary protected cells. Many avid Li-ion flashlight pp use unprotected cells without incident.

Thirdly, the March recall you link us to has nothing at all to do with flashlights exploding. The M2R and Warrior Mini can cause burns from high operating temperature IF they accidentally turn on in the pocket. This is a switch problem and potentially affects all high power Li-Ion flashlights but not low power ones.

Olight isn't for you.
