If you get a solar panel, then charging is easy even when the power is out. And Eneloops combine the weaknesses of alkaleaks with the weaknesses of Li-ion for no net gain when it comes to flashlights. Every time I've needed batteries, Li-ion has been there as primaries run out with no chance of resupply. There was a time when I thought using primary backups was important, but when the really real reality came to pass, I had those theories disproven by actually factual facts.

I've been in prolonged power outages, and trust me when I say that primary cells are A LOT less reliable than many people think. I consider it "a regular battery" because it's so common. (originally written by u/TacGriz, updated, if you have any suggestions for changes to this entry please don't hesitate to send me a message) See why these are the only CR123A cells you should use in a multi-cell light. Panasonic CR123A's: outstanding shelf life, temperature resistant, great for the many 18650 lights that can take two of these instead, great for lights that aren't used frequently and/or are stored in extreme temperatures (like in a car). NiMH AA's: great shelf life, rechargeable, won't leak, great for lights that are used frequently and/or are not stored in extreme temperatures (like indoors). Lithium AA's: outstanding shelf life, temperature resistant, won't leak, great for lights that aren't used frequently and/or are stored in extreme temperatures (like in a car).
