The reasons companys does this is planned obsolescence I'm glad they do it I make a fortune off having people rebuy stuff this way. Nobody cares about the consumer anymore it's all about the money always make a failure part in every appliance flashlight or whatnot to increase profits this is American Way

Guys, Streamlights are used by fire and police departments. They are not made in sweat shops in China. Please educate yourself before you compare them to Sofirn garbage and that crap Costco sells.

Not sure about the HL, but the product page [streamlight.com] does say it's the same battery as the Stinger 2020.

I'm seeing mixed reports on whether or not you can use standard 18650s in this. The SL-B26 appears to be approx. the same size as an 18650 but slightly longer for the built-in usb charging circuit. I'd assume the battery itself handles the low discharge protection since it's got the charging circuit right on top, so you'd probably need protected button-top 18650s if they would work at all.

I bought one the other day and it's awesome! I really like the fact that you can use C-batteries in case you forget to recharge it. Would make a good gift.

Can you just run a cable right to the light, or do you have to remove each battery and charge them separately like in the photo here? I'm not a flashlight "enthusiast" but the wurkkos I got from SD for $25 or something a little while ago is amazing, and it charges easily via USB-C like everything else.

I own a model of every high end flashlight maker on the market and streamlight is the best for the money imo. I own this HL-X and its great. I leave it on my back porch to shine my property. Good light at a good price if you can use the blinding amount of light.

It does not. Any protected 18650 or cr123s work in it.

A great buy for tactibros who don't really know gear but sure do like flashing brand names.
