Why the Arkfeld Pro Might Be Your Next EDC Light!
A key ring?? 😂😂😂
They list it as a feature!
Duracell Swell up. Cost me a 6 and a 5 D- Cell Maglite.
That's really unfortunate! Battery issues can be such a hassle, especially when they damage our favorite gadgets. Have you considered reaching out to Duracell about it as others have said they got compensation?
@@chestersedc That was years ago. I even locked the 5 battery model in a vice and couldn't drive the batteries out with a large punch and a small sledgehammer. Even tried drilling them out with an auger bit, until I finally tore up the inside of the flashlight.
@@d.b.1858 hate to hear about your experience. Unfortunately it’s too common with Duracells.
Have packs of Duracell that 2028 exp date, "10 years garantee" - about half or even more leaked.
Same issues. Sad that so many have had issues with their batteries. Thanks for watching!
Is it ok to keep the case plugged in charging whilst also having the light inside it? Does that charge both?
@PJtheincel - I keep the light in the case to charge, and yes, plugging in the case will charge both at the same time. Thanks for watching!
Sometimes I buy a light just because it looks cool. I'm the same way with pocket knives. The Dragon i3t v2 sure looks nice.
I totally get that! Sometimes aesthetics are just as important as functionality. The Dragon i3t v2 really does have a sleek design!
@@chestersedc i ordered the dragon i3t v2. and an i3t in dream blue. And.. added an antique bronze i3e just to get free shipping. 😆
I've done that as well....
I'd like it with a 18650 battery 😊😊
An 18650 battery would definitely add some versatility and power to the device at the expense of size.

Does the i3t2 pocket clip, work on the i3t? Any issues?
No, the i3T 2 pocket clip will not screw onto the old i3T cap as the threads are different sizes. I was able to take the i3T 2 cap and screw it onto the old i3T body, but not the other way around. The i3T seemed to work with the i3T 2 tail cap in my quick test. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video. I have had so many ruined electronic devices because of leaking alkaline batteries. I was so tired of the problem that I came up with a product to lessen the damage to devices. For the RUclips video search for “battery centurion shield “ I am really just interested in what you think of it. Please let me know. I am having a very difficult time getting into stores.
I DID order something and when it came it had a coin by itself (no card) with my stuff and no explanation.. so yeah, now I know what it’s for lol 😂
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s always fun to hear about these little surprises that come with our purchases.
I think you meant 14500 battery in your title
Good eye! Thanks for pointing that out! You know how it is-sometimes my brain runs faster than my fingers!
Nice thoughtful review, and I was thinking about the gold phoenix version myself so it was cool to see someone handle it "in person" rather than just product photos on store sites. Have been using a Lumintop Tool AAA for years, but I love the dual fuel nature of this one, the great clip, and the 2 very useful brightness modes. I also have a Lumintop Tool AA which is also NiMH/14400 and I've liked the options there, but I think the pocket friendliness of a AAA light is hard to beat. Looking forward to trying my own i3T 2 when it comes in.
I really appreciate your kind words! It’s always nice to hear from fellow flashlight enthusiasts. Enjoy your i3T 2 when it arrives; I think you’re going to love it!
I also received this from Olight Jerry!
That's awesome! Olight Jerry always delivers great products. What did you think of it?
I love it! It was an awesome surprise and I will never turn down an Olight flashlight. I lost a bunch somehow last time I moved and I’m still upset that I can’t find that box.
What is the best gift you have have gotten from Olight?
What about heat, LEDs tend to get very hot, how you compare to that with long term use
@ahsanyunas - I have not had any issues with heat after the upgrade. The new LED bulb uses the same 3-watts as the old bulb. The LED doesn't produce more heat but is more efficient at creating light making it brighter. Thanks for watching!
@@chestersedc Thankyou very much for confirmation. I shall be upgrading mine soon.
My local ace hardware pull all maglite products 😢
That's interesting! I wonder what prompted them to pull all the Maglite products. Have you heard anything about it?
Try NiMH.
Agree 100%. Thanks for watching!
Have you had trigger finger surgery? How was your recovery?
It's funny. I got this light last week because of all the reasons you stated. Then, while looking at reviews, I saw the Arkfeld Pro, and had to get that also. Got the Pro for $80 on sale, and love it! 😮
Nice choice on the Arkfeld Pro! I love mine. Too many great lights out there. Enjoy and thanks for watching!
The lion kingdom's 35 year old mini maglite is probably doomed to remane a museum piece. It's too easy nowadays to strap together random batteries & a $1 LED to do what used to take specialty fabrication.
Modern technology has really advanced, but I still have some nostalgia for my Maglite. Thanks for watching.
How long will it run in red light mode
@jeffreydaniels7691 - It outputs 40 lumens on red mode for 150 minutes. Thanks for watching!
Even the alkaline energizer max is leaking too 😢
Oh no, that's frustrating to hear!
@@chestersedc 🍙🍥🍚
I'm using nickel metal hydride AAA batteries do you think it will leak too like alkaline batteries?
@playstation2bigs - NiMH batteries can leak, but I think it is much less likely because the batteries are made much stronger. Over charging, deep discharge, heat, and physical damage can lead to the leaks. I have never had NiMH batteries leak and have been using them for 20+ years.
@@chestersedc thanks for the information, my AAA NiMH is Fujitsu FDK
Been buying regular energizer alkaline batts for decades because they had 10% more juice than Duracells. Haven’t seen any leaks. Glad I switched but didn’t know Duracells leak and Energizers don’t. When batts leak they usually destroy the device even if cleaned.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Millions of devices destroyed by battery leaks! Thanks for watching!
Blood Pressure Monitor 1of 4 batteries leaked. Cleaned it up put in new batteries. couple months later monitor fell on floor and didn't work. Checked and found battery in same place leaking. sigh. I stored my batteries in a spare room that did not have a/c. I wondered, and you verified, heat does matter. Thank you, no one else I listened to referred to heat. This kinda makes me nervous because alkaline are in my CO2and smoke detectors. Will have to consider alternatives for those. hope heat is ok for metal hydrate (sp) and Lithium.
@marybg2145 - Thanks for sharing your experiences. You can get 9V Ultimate Lithium batteries ( amzn.to/3Lj77Rc ), but they are very expensive because 9V batteries are just 6 AAA batteries inside the shell, so a 9V = 6 AAA.

@marybg2145 - I found these EBL 9V Lithium Batteries for Smoke Detectors ( amzn.to/3Loz75S ) that are half the price of the Energizer Lithium if you want some for your CO2 and smoke detectors. EBL also has AA and AAA lithium batteries.

i3e 2 is an easy choice. With a 10440 the output difference is negligible. Cheaper and lighter.
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate your insight and agree it is hard to beat for the size. My only want would be for more runtime when it is needed.
@@chestersedc For those who use a flashlight for work it’s a different story. I personally never seem to need a light for more than 10 seconds honestly lol! I really cannot imagine using a flashlight for one hour let alone many hours. I have become much more flexible with runtimes lately. The reality is we live generally in such well illuminated environments. I find months go by I don’t need a flashlight for any reason at all. I don’t know how many experience this as well.
@onedirection3510 - Sounds like a great fit for your use case. I work in a lot of new building construction with no utilities, so I need a light for hours at times, especially during the winter when it gets dark by 5 PM. Having the right light can make all the difference. Thanks for watching and commenting!
If a light is for daily use I like rechargeable with ultimate lithium in a bag for backup. If a light is to be kept with a kit, then it is only ultimate lithium for me. If a light has a non replaceable battery, its pretty much a hard no buy for me. Plus I have a few llights that have ithium polymer batteries that I regret buying. The lith-poly batteries will not hold a charge for longer than 3 weeks in my experience. Have you found this to be the case?
@OregonMike - Replaceable batteries are one of my top features. I also use Lithium in any light that takes AA or AAA. I have not had any issues with the Lithium-Polymer batteries holding a charge in my Olight Arkfelds. I just checked my Arkfeld Flex I keep in my car, and it has 4 bars after 4+ months of sitting in car. My daily carry Arkfeld Pro has had no issues either.
no wireless charging thou. all good.
@mylesl2890 - The Perun 2 Mini uses Olight's proprietary wireless MCC charging. Thanks for watching!
Duracells don’t even need to be dead OR beyond date code. I had a pair of AAs that leaked in an exterior temperatue sensor that wasn’t even in service 9 months. Batteries still measured over 1.5V but were still leaking. Not the first time I have experienced it with Duracell either. Amazon cheapies fare much better. Lithium probably best for hot / cold extremes…
Thanks for watching!

Knowing the candela would be useful information. Not sure if olight lists that though.
@Losersluck_ - The candela is 7,225 at 170 meters. Thanks for watching.
I put a single Energizer "D" cell battery -- with no "use by" date -- in an indoor-stored emergency strobe back in July 1997. I check it every few years, just for fun, and smile that it's still usable more than a quarter century later. No leaks. I date all of my many dozens of installed batteries with an ultrafine Sharpie, and I find it interesting that some leak, and others just keep on going. I agree that dry cells kept in hot cars tend to suffer the most. I buy major brand alkaline AA and AAAs during superstore Christmas sales, when they can be found for as little as 25-50 cents each in 36 packs, then I rotate my stock.
Thank you for sharing your experience and tips on battery maintenance! It's great to hear about your success with the Energizer battery.
Why doesn’t energizer have any competition yet? It has to have been more than 20years by now.
@hiprimate941, that is a good question. The Ultimate Lithium batteries are manufactured in Singapore. My guess is that there is a large upfront cost, and the market won't support investment from other manufactures. Thanks for watching!

I have a bit more than $5000 of ruined and non-repairable pro audio gear due to this. RF intercom belt packs, a beautiful Nakamichi 550 portable cassette recorder that I miss terribly. I also tossed 256 AA ProCells brand new as many were beginning to leak. I haven’t bought an alkaline battery in 10 years. I have a hate-hate relationship with them.
That sounds like a nightmare! Sorry to hear about your ruined gear.
@@chestersedc I mention it as a cautionary tale. Lithium is actually cheap from my perspective. Your video does a great service to many, many people. Thank you.
@@artysanmobile Thanks, I appriciate your kind words.
I’ve had too many Duracell alkalines that leak well before the expiration date. NiMH still self discharge & have a lower voltage. The Energizer non rechargeable lithium metal battery is very good for applications that require a long shelf life without leaking. Price is a problem here. I used to buy a package from Sam’s Club for about $20.00, then the price increased to $35.00 for the same package. Now I see that Sam’s removed them. Did Energizer discontinue this product because of slow sales because of this price increase?
I still buy them at Sam's Club. There are two battery racks in my Sam's, and they are only in one of them.
Thanks buddy! I guess it’s time to restomod my minimag!
Nice one! Can't wait to see the upgraded minimag in action!
I was using my Maglite to look under my dash and noticed it getting warm. Before I could get out of the car the light was too hot to hold. I switched it off and removed the batteries. One was smoking from the label getting too hot. These were less than one month old, direct from the store. My Fluke 4-1/2 digit meter indicated one was 1.803 V. The other was 0.241 V. It looks like the hot cell got reverse charged. I buy the 18 cell pack and checked the remaining cells (14). They were all around the same 1.8xxx V except one measuring only 1.233V. So, now we know what happens when the Energizer Ultimate Lithium gets reverse charged. I let you draw your own conclusions. I will now always check the voltage of every cell before use.
That's wild, man! Good thing you caught it in time.
Do buy ther crappy Batteries ,
@Chester’s EDC Hi there! I really love your content. I want to invite you to check out some of our Sofirn flashlights,. Would you be interested?😀
@sososocreative - Please contact me using the details on my channel page.
@@chestersedc Great! I will contact you soon.
Duros cell alkalines are absolutely terrible. I use lithium ion batteries and never have to worry about leaks.
Duracell alkalines are absolutely terrible. I use lithium ion batteries and never have to worry about leaks.
I have had some alkaline D cells that were more than 15 years old that showed no signs of leaks this was 10 years ago all the new cells seem to be prone to leaking no mater what brand something has changed.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the batteries, it's helpful to know.
I have saw batteries new in the packs, on the racks at the store that had leaked and corroded over.
Those batteries were definitely giving off some negative energy!
I've never owned or used a Maglite
20+ years ago, they were the bee's knees. Modern lights have surpassed them in water proofing, battery, and LED technology, but they are still useful, reliable, and provide a few unique features like candle mode. I still use my upgraded Maglites for their unique features. If you have one, an upgrade will increase its usefulness.
I use mineral oil on my Damascus. It definitely makes cutting more seamless.
Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try.
As a photographer for the last 50 years, I've been using all kinds of batteries, and I gain more and more battery-powered devices every year. Right now, I use nothing but Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries in everything I can. Whether a device can take an AAA or AA battery (instead of a button or some other size cell) is sometimes even one of my criterion for choosing it. My primary reason is because I've never suffered a leak of an Energizer Ultimate lithium battery, even in devices that they might sit for months between uses.
I don;t recall any warning to not touch the bulbs on the packages.When you buy replacement bulbs they come in a package that requires you to touch them and no cleaning products. I have and still own many of those lights and don't have problems unless I drop them.
3:31 what was that word?
From the dictionary: "Consequently" is an adverb that means "as a result" or "therefore". Thanks for watching.
