Got new accessory for Glock 19
- Thread starter Glockcarry007
- Start date
I predict this will be replaced within 1yr.
IMHO rechargable weapon lights are a bad idea. Once the battery wears out the light is dead. rechargeables do not work well in the cold. rechargables run down while sitting, meaning you need to KEEP it charged regularly.
disposable lithium batteries typically have a 10yr shelf life, and work well in the cold.
Also, the reviews on amazon on this light are not encouraging.

My only really serious pistol light is a Streamlight TLR-1HL. My only pistol laser is a Crimson Trace. I do have Olights which I don't really trust - rechargeable battery in the compact pistol light, and if you are beyond the warranty period with a problem - adios. But they are cheap when on sale, maybe half the price of the more well known brands.
Since then Surefire has come out with a tiny pistol light that I might get someday.
In practice I only carry my pocket pistols, so I don't actually use my light much.

The rate of self-discharge varies considerably based on battery type....rechargables run down while sitting...
Lithium Ion rechargeables have a slow self-discharge rate. There are also now "low-discharge NiMH" batteries that have a very slow self-discharge rate and will retain something like 70% to 80% charge after sitting for a year.
But yes, the old NiCad and the standard NiMH batteries do have pretty fast self-discharge rates.

I've got an Olight. Every 2-3 months, I turn it on for a couple minutes. Then I connect the charger. Works great.
