Camping & Outdoor · Tactical / Handheld Flashlights

Is USB-C rechargeable better than disposable batteries for a tactical light?

Reviewer consensus

USB-C is more convenient and cheaper to run day-to-day, and most modern picks from Streamlight, Fenix, and Nitecore include it. However, dual-fuel lights that also accept AA or CR123A primaries are valuable for emergency kits, glove boxes, and long storage where you can't count on a charged cell.
