Battery Aside, Are the Olight i5t and i5r the same?!

- Aside from the batteries, is there any difference between the Olight i5t and the i5r? In this video, we try to find out using “almost science”. Olight does not recommended using any battery other than the standard AA in the i5t light.
I hope this video and channel can help answer a few questions on your search for the right camping or Every Day Carry / EDC light for you!

My i5r is much better than my i5t. Not only is the runtime longer, but it’s nice to be able to charge the i5r back to full when the battery is half discharged instead of having to use a half dead aa battery until it’s depleted. Saves a lot of money, especially if you use your flashlights a lot. Plus if I do need to quickly drop in a standard aa in my i5r it will work.
You make several good points here. I hadn’t considered the money savings over time with the i5r. Being able to top off the charge with the i5r whenever you like is a great feature too! I’m considering ordering another i5r battery to turn my i5t into an i5r of sorts.
Just use rechargable AA batteries and you essentially turn your i5t into an i5r
Getting my i5R in titanium....no brag
$40 = i5t = 300 lumens / alkaline AA battery 1.5v / 80 grams weight
$54 = i5r = 350 lumens / Type-C USB Rechargeable Battery //Lithium Ion battery / 100 grams weight
3:02...they aren't different from any other battery, they are using *power boost* as a marketing catch phrase ...they read 1.5 v output, just like any other standard AA battery.
🔴AA Lithium rechargeables are also 1.55 V / Lithium batteries weight less than Alkaline batteries / last longer in hi and low temps /
*NOTE* you mentioned in your other Olight comparison video...
the *i3t eos* is the only flashlight that can run a AAA battery and a double the voltage = 3.7 V, 10440 rechargeable cell Battery. It won't over heat and you get a boost on the light output.
Thanks again for the nice display and summary of important points! It is good that you mentioned the weight difference between the battery types. I hadn’t considered this.
Which i3t eos manual states it can take a 10440? All of mine just say it can accept a standard disposable lithium AAA battery. Or do you mean people have used 10440s with them long term without burning out the emitter or circuit? The i5t plus misprinted that it accepted lithium batteries (I believe they wrote 11440s? Some sort of mistype for a battery that doesn't exist), but when corresponding with olight about this battery, they said it only accepts standard aa or nimh (I use disposable lithium aa just fine though, it's the same voltage lol).
ive got both and the only difference ive noticed is the high mode on the I5R is instantaneous..
the I5T takes a split second to......... brighten up..
Great great comparison 👍
Thank you for the kind words!
Hi, do you know anything about the i5R HiCri? I won a free one (still has not arrived) and I’d like to know it it’s going to work with regular 14500.
I know my i5t gets over 1000 lumens with a 3.7V 14500, do you know if the HiCri version gets also a much better output with the 14500 3.7V?
I haven’t been able to get that sort of output from the i5R. For some reason they seem to have lower output but also lower heat. I have a couple videos about this if you’re interested. I don’t have the high CRI version so I can’t speak to that one.

Hello from Vancouver! Just curious... Do the tail switches work on each if swapped betwn an i5t and an i5r?
Thanks in advance.
🙂
Good question! Yes, the tail switches work on each light when swapped.
@@PardonMyEnglish Wow! Keeping posting. Cheers!
Do you happen to know if the output on the I 5T while using a 14500 exceeds the 350 lm of the I 5R?
Good question. With the i5R I tested, the output was pretty much the same but I was using the copper model and I’m not sure if they perform differently than the aluminum ones. I have a video or two about the i5R and 14500 combo if you’re interested.
So basically the i5r is the same with i5t without its proprietary battery interms of lumens?
To my eye, they look like same using AA batteries but I don’t have a way to test lumen output precisely.
The cell in the i5R, is it 14500?
Good question. I was using the 2.4v battery that the light comes with originally.
Great, got to get one!
