Won a Cree 2500 on Ebay for $3.81 a couple weeks ago

And then bought a charger with a couple batteries to fit it
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271362301489
Installed a battery and played with it.

Light button is almost flush with the body, yet very handy to operate.
There is a second "button" opposite the actual button..probably part
of the switch, a few seconds and I figured out by touch which is
which..no issues there whatsoever. They feel different in the dark so
you wont be hitting the wrong one over and over again..
...

Some other auctions linked from those show that the second button-like
bit is a cover for a charge port, apparently so the flashlight can be
charged without opening it. Eg, third picture at

If you happen to find a charger for this that plugs into a cigarette
lighter..let me know.


Easy peasy, mon. http://tinyurl.com/ossjwv7 Pay your buck, wait your
3-6 weeks, and your new ChiTech unit will be in your hands.


If you are absolutely positively sure that this charger will fit this
little Cree..Ill buy a couple of them, once for each vehicle and some
more flashlights.


I bought one (other vendor) for a mobile charger base and it fit both
the cheapie Q5 (which is what I think you got) flashlight and the
base. Neither of my two T6es has a charging port. I think this is
the kit I bought: http://tinyurl.com/oozbfmn , but not sure of the
vendor. I'm almost certain that every one of them sells the same
brand unit, januwine NoName brand.

I suggest you get the brighter flashlights, the above kits for
charging, and a 10-pack of 18650s. http://tinyurl.com/otwgn67 looks
like the mfgr for mine. Bid a few bucks on a few of these low
auctions and wait until you get a low one to win. It's almost certain
that none of the high-capacity batteries has anywhere near that
capacities, so the buck-a-batt stuff is just great. They run these
flashlights for a couple hours straight, on high beam, so they just
slightly outlast the triple AAA setups which also fit them.

Oh, just found the deal for you, BIN $4 with FS
http://tinyurl.com/nk6toob The 5800mAh is probably 2500 in reality.
