    Pretty easy fix is to thread charging cable through the cap, can't get lost that way. Problem solved.

    I have both lights, I snapped up 3 of the maxtochs when I heard they were going to stop making them. Have just started on the HC65, nice light so far. Takes a little bit to work out all the modes, but nothing 10 minutes with the manual doesn't fix.

    I have a H01 sent to me from @MSL, really appreciate him sending that & it is very good, I like a lot of the functions & will see how it goes !

    What amazes me is the amount of & quality of flash lights & heads lights now days, truly amazing !

    My old Mag-lite has teeth marks all over from my early Thar & rough country hunts where I needed two hands, even my old rifle sling has lol !

    In the market for a new head torch as just broke my led lenser.
    I see the maxtoch H01r Are no longer available.
    Just been looking at the nitecore hc60 on Ali express.
    Look to be what I’m after, any feed back on them? Or a similar head torch I should look at?
    After a small/light one for getting back to camp and use around camp, don’t need a heap of features etc..
    Cheers
