I like the form factor of these lights, but I worry about the built-in batteries. I don’t like the idea that once the battery is done, the light is also.
I notice that the back does come off the arkfeld, but I don’t know if you can source a replacement cell…
That’s my objection to them. Olight is interesting here in that they offer a lifetime warranty for flashlights purchased in in United States of America, Australia, China, France, or Germany in 2023 or later which explicitly covers built-in batteries. That’s surprising given that Li-ion batteries are guaranteed to wear out, but it’s pretty unambiguous.
