It&#8217;s designed to replace a pair of standard CR123A lithium batteries, or a 18650 battery. It&#8217;s a rechargeable battery that lets you plug a micro USB cable directly into the battery to charge it. The 18650 USB Battery has a small light indicator that lets you know when the unit is charged.<\/p>\n<p>Streamlight also rolled out a suite of flashlight that is optimized come with a 18650 USB Battery. From the provided literature, the 18650 USB battery will fully charge in 5 hours.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Blinding the Competition: Streamlight's TLR-7; TLR-8 &#038; Rechargeable Battery \u2014 SHOT Show 2018\" class=\"wp-image-85929 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/20180123_095547-1024x714.jpg\" alt=\"Blinding the Competition: Streamlight's TLR-7; TLR-8 &#038; Rechargeable Battery \u2014 SHOT Show 2018\" width=\"1024\" height=\"714\" \/>\n<p>The 18650 is a big deal! I am going to buy several of them and use them for all of my flashlights that require 2 CR123 batteries to run. CR123 batteries are expensive and in short order end up in landfills. I always carry a Goal Zero solar panel, so being able to charge batteries when I am hiking in the middle of nowhere is huge!<\/p>\n<h2>SPECS:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>18650 button top lithium ion battery with on-board safety control circuit<\/li>\n<li>Micro-USB input; charges in 5 hours<\/li>\n<li>Integrated safety circuit protects battery from overcharge\/overdischarge<\/li>\n<li>2.75 in (7.0 cm); 1.7 oz (48 grams)<\/li>\n<li>Use the 18650 USB battery to power the PolyTac X, ProTac 2L-X, ProTac HL-X and ProTac HL5-X and transform these multi-fuel lighting tools into rechargeable systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Pricing<\/h2>\n<p>Pricing for the TLR-7 should be around $175 and a little bit more for the TLR-8 light\/laser combination. The price for the USB rechargeable battery will be roughly $35. Look for it in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, kudos to Streamlight. I am going to buy a pair of TLR-8s for my pistol and my fiance&#8217;s pistol.
