Bought one when they were listed a few days ago for about $2 more. They are decent flashlights. Don't expect them to be better than streamlight or coast but at this price, get one for every car and every night stand.

I'm seeing not available for ship pickup or delivery.
Walmart stock is regional though, so might not be dead for everyone

I prefer AA over anything else. It is the most widely available and highest density battery cell. Also, the best bang for the buck.

These can't use rechargeable, can they?

Sure they can. I use rechargeables in all my AA/AAA flashlights.

Agreed, but I have several flashlights that can use AAA (3x with included holder/adapter) or 18650. Those are my favorite because obviously rechargeable 18650 Li-ion is superior to rechargeable AA/AAA NiMH batteries. I like the flexibility, though I've never needed it.

From what I've heard, some of these cheap LED flashlights use the battery resistance in their circuit design. The internal resistance of a NiMH is different from an alkaline.

Apparently it can overload the led

Not sure if that's true, as I'm trying to think how you'd even do that, just something I heard

You can overload if you use multiple non-rechargeable lithium batteries since they tend to run a little overvoltage. Brand new alkaline batteries do too, but lithium is more constant at about 1.6-1.8v. Which is not bad with 1 or even 2, but when you get to 3+, then you're at 5-5.4v instead of 4.5v. NiMH are undervoltaged so they'll generally just make a flashlight slightly dimmer. And if the flashlight has good regulation circuitry, it'll be exactly the same. On more sensitive complex electronics, like, say, a trail cam, the voltage might be low enough that it either won't work or will become unreliable (though you'd think something expensive would also be designed for a wide range of batteries). The only 'overdraw' problem I've theoretically heard is that things that use coin batteries like 2032s rely on the resistance/weakness to regulate the power and hooking it up to bigger ones might burn it out (though I've done this with several items, mostly holiday decorations, I got sick of having to replace batteries constantly and never had a problem). I've never had a flashlight go bad from using a NiMH rechargeable, not even back when they were discs of 5mm white LEDs that were probably 'regulated' by the PCB layout and maybe a resistor. Or not.

I've seen several LED items that say not to use NiMH in them for some reason (a Crayola tracing lightbox with 5 mm LEDs along the edges, for one), but I can't imagine how it could actually hurt them. Overvoltaged will reduce the life somewhat (if it's low enough not to just burn it out).

I know the rechargeable lithiums are popular these days because they're "better" but when the power's out for a week during a hurricane I can just move to alkaline AAs once I run out of charged batteries vs having to keep 50 backup fire hazard lithiums constantly charged up. Nevermind flashlights with built-in batteries that you have to wait to recharge.

FenrirCo gave an excellent answer, but to put it simply, I've had Walmart, Eveready, Olight, Sofirn, Streamlight, Pelican, etc., and never had an issue with any of them using rechargeables.
