Additional Update:
The replacement flashlight has been holding up very well. Charging easily. Being used frequently. As well, I found the old one. Thankfully I hadn't thrown it out. While the battery on that one still absolutely refuses to charge, it also takes... a AA or AAA. And, it works fairly well with it.
So, now, I have two of them going. One isn't rechargeable, but it doesn't burn through batteries like some flashlights do. I have a black and orange one. Sometimes I have both on. Gives me a lot of adjustable, handsfree, light. And they are bright enough for any of my needs. Since they did me a good turn, I... wanted to add another plug.
---------
I received the first one, but the battery wouldn't charge. I tried to return it, ran into all sorts of trouble. Then just ran out of time. I assumed it was a lost cause, so wrote a review. Unlike some companies, they didn't just scramble to figure out how to remove or hide my review, but instead contacted me. Sent me a new one.
The second one works perfectly. After the initial charge, I haven't had to recharge since? Crazy, but... And I have it with me as daily wear, and use it quite often. I don't use it as a headlamp, but clip it to my jacket, and use it like a motorcycle's light, centerline, lower. For taking the trash out, on dark mornings... cooking on my griddle later at night, or when dark. Wonderful.
I don't know where the first one got to. Didn't realize it took regular batteries. If I find it, I will try that. Still, this one is very good. I am grateful that they took care of the problem. And, now, I am very thankful for the product. It does exactly what I hoped it would do. Just... another good tool, for my odd, sometimes simple, sometimes messy, needs and wants. Very good item.
Original Review -
"The "chargeable" battery wouldn't take a charge. Had trouble getting a refund ticket, kept dodging an easy way to get it in, so lost my opportunity. Will never buy anything from amazon with those types of batteries. They really jacked me around on a return. Don't buy this thing. It might work, it very well may not. Then good luck doing a return or exchange." - Upgraded from one to five start.
