whatever you buy dont use crap batteries that leak and corrode the crap out of the light !!!
(as some of you may know)
HC65 Nitecore way to go! Awesome
My personal opinion is the lights that have special battery packs that you need to plug the headlight in to recharge are no good.
Far better off to use a light that uses a 18650 lithium ion battery, they have huge capacity and last a long time on each charge. Then you just carry a spare 18650 so that if you are ever caught out with your headlamp battery going flat you just swap in the spare battery.
The 18650 battery technology is so far superior to whats available in your standard AA's and AAA's its not funny.
Its not about best value, cheapest or most expensive torch etc - IMO its about buying what you're comfortable with, be it a cheapy from Aliexpress or a big brand such as Fenix, Olight, Nitecore, Maxtoch whatever
The big difference between the cheapies and the big brands is the much tighter tolerances, quality materials (usually aluminium), safety features/functions and of course the warranty.
As long as you're happy with what you have purchased

This is comprehensive. Ive got one coming from Terry. Am sick of aliexpress lights packing up. And I wanted a light without wires.

Is there much difference in the 18650 battery quality?insee you are out terryf,looking to grab a couple but don’t want to get shitters,
I guess I must have been lucky with my Ali Express lights. I have owned 5 and never had any problems with any of them. My two head torches are wireless and the only light I have had issues with was a LED Lenser H7 where the tilting mechanism failed. I think it cost as much as the others put together.
Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
I guess I am a bit cynical when it comes to some of the "big brands". I have worked in sports wholesale and retail and seen brand name products which were EXACTLY the same product as a so called cheaper brand. The ONLY difference being the name on the product and the price. You are right, it is all about what works for you and what you are happy with.

Out of what, batteries?
There are plenty in stock
