Description reads:
"Packed with one 6v EVEREADY Super Heavy Duty battery"
But also
"With ready flex technology you can use either 2D batteries or 4D batteries to power the light. 2 Eveready super heavy Duty D batteries included"

I think it is hilarious they only include 2 batteries and they cheap variety at that. I think the batteries are 90% of their actual cost on these cheap flashlights

"Powerful beam and extraordinary runtime up to 140 hours (4 heavy duty batteries) or 400 hours (4 alkaline batteries)"
so "heavy duty" actually means sub-alkaline? news to me.

Actually yes [smartfamilymoney.com], as it turns out:

Why would we call zinc chloride batteries "heavy duty" when they have less power than alkaline batteries? When zinc chloride batteries were invented, they were a newer technology compared to the older carbon-zinc batteries. Carbon-zinc batteries are also called "general purpose" batteries. You don't see those anymore in a AA form. Zinc chloride batteries were the newer, better technology so they were called heavy duty. They have not been the newer, better technology for a very long time, but the name "heavy duty" stuck around. The truth is that alkaline and other modern batteries are certainly more heavy-duty that heavy duty batteries!

I bought one of these for $1.50 at Home Depot for my son to play with (clearance rack). I honestly think that is all it is worth. It is only 80 lumens and has one led. Don't expect this to be like the big yellow ones with the large battery they used to sell in the checkout line. This is lower quality and weaker with a much smaller battery.
