Why choose rechargeable batteries over one-time use ?

Above video is with the Fenix TK16V2

An Indian youtuber left a comment under this video saying that it doesn't work with dogs in his area and that's with the below torch (TK20RV2) that puts out 56k candelas. Or a good 20k more than the above video

These torches are law enforcement grade. So I don't know how strays can be immune to it. One thing to be sure is torches only work with strays at nighttime. They aren't much use in daytime.

He said he'd put out a video with dogs. Here's his channel

Since he plays with generics as well as branded he's the right person to ask for budget torches that aren't totally crap

Missed a couple of lights that are ideal for this dog deterrence application or any self defense for that matter


There are just two settings. 50 lumens and turbo. Quick and easy one hand operation. Small enough to be pocketed.

You walk along with 50 if any dogs show up one click and its on turbo.

Or from off they start on turbo. Tactical settings.

Depends on what do you want to use it for. The devices you mentioned like clocks,remotes, oxymeters are very low power consumption devices. So having rechargeable batteries may not make any sense for them.

I use them for wireless mouse, blood pressure monitor, zoom voice recorders, camera flashes, Microsoft game controllers etc. These drain batteries very fast if used frequently. My zoom f3 voice recorder can drain a normal duracell in maybe like 3-4 hours of usage. So a rechargeable is more economical for long term usage.

Actually, it would make sense as you use for year or years then recharge like couple hours at most then back at it. Sure it isn't economical but no worry about battery (minor) and wastage
