Great batt, charges fast. Buy a spare + charging cord when you buy the light. I also bought the single charger. They gave me a 30% off coupon to buy the spare batts + charger, Great service !
Eliminating the need of having to buy a charger is the nicest feature I have ever seen on a rechargeable battery. Also with the light indicator as well. Love the new design of the battery!
These batteries charged up quickly and so far have lasted on average two weeks in my Fenix light from average use per shift as a firefighter/paramedic.
The battery arrived without any issues but would have preferred the non-USB charging port to prevent any possibility of foreign items from getting lodged into the charging port. Those batteries were not available at the time of purchase. Otherwise I’m looking forward to using to see how long the run time be compared to Lithium 123 batteries.
These battery’s have already saved me money on the one time use that I was using. I really like the USB option for recharging via solar when in the field.
Once this battery is charged…you get a very long use from it. Battery has the best design for charging…no more cradles to buy for charging….using your standard USB cable that you can use for your android phone is all it takes. Plug it in and in a very short time…the battery is at full charge. I would and have recommended this to friends.
When it works it is nice. Charge battery, blue light comes on so i put battery in. When i put the battery cap on nothing happens. I have to keep messing with the cap, loosing and tightening until it will turn on. I thought battery was bad so i bought extra batteries and they do the same thing. Very disappointed with this product. Not even a year old.

The batteries seem to be good and they’re easy to charge with the usb port. The only complaint I have is, I don’t know when they are charging or done charging because the indicator light does not show on either of batteries. I have to get my electric meter out to see if / when they are fully charged. If I’m not home when they need charging, it’s a guessing game as to when they are fully charged!

Super idea with the USB port charging. Ultra convenient and practical. Never had any battery power source with this much capacity, it is in another league.
WooHoo! Power baby. Running this in a PD32, holy cow, talk about output. Love the USB charge port. Great practical idea. Will run two after next order, so a rotation schedule can be maintained. Might not need it though, lot of reserve in this battery if used intermittently on lower light output settings.
In any case, it is obvious this is a quality high technology battery. Planning on eventually having these USB port chargeable batteries for all my power needs. Like the AA chargeable version, no risk of alkaline battery corrosion ruining valuable lights, long term savings too. Whats not to like! I’m delighted. Fenix makes excellent stuff. Nothing more satisfying than spending my hard won dollars on top shelf products.
Thank you Fenix for continuing to deliver battle tested products! In nearly 20 years of Law Enforcement my only wish is that I had discovered and purchased your products sooner. I highly recommend FENIX!!
This is a great battery – it holds its stated charge, delivers good current, holds its performance all through its power capacity, and recharges reliably.
The fact that the charger is built into the battery is incredibly convenient. You can charge it anywhere that you can use a mini-usb cord… in your car… from your laptop’s usb-port, from a power-bank or the USB outlet in a hotel room or traveler’s lounge. It’s wonderful. I can’t imagine going back to packing a dedicated charger. If you forget your charger, you’re out of luck, but if you forget your mini-usb cord, you can buy one in any gas station or grocery store or hotel lobby store. What a clever idea to build the charger into the battery.

Genius design that serves dual purposes. I carried this battery and ARE-D1 Battery Charger during a 100 mile mountain race. This eliminated the need to carry an additional power bank to charge my watch/phone since I would need a spare battery for the headlamp anyway – of course I was using a Fenix headlamp. Less gear to carry and I was a happy runner. Thank you Fenix!

These batteries are awesome. You can charge them in the flashlight if it has a charging port, in a battery charger or independently with a micro USB port. 3500 mah gives your flashlight a longer run time.
I like that it does not take forever for battery to charge, I can plug it into my truck so it can charge. this way i do not leave it at office or home. it lasts as long as expected and is great for on the go.
The batteries are very long lasting. I just purchased the latest charger and it’s handy to use because of the visual information it gives you during charging.
So Far . . . . only charged once – it took plenty of mA to fully charge upon receipt – so it’s clearly near the stated mAh capacity. In service now! I like the added mini-usb chargeability – adds portability, though I’ll usually use my own charger.
Awesome battery. 2 ways to charge. I charged it once with mini usb had it in my torch for over a month and still has a full charge. Will be getting a few more of these.
I appreciate the light indicator on the top of the recharger battery, but I wish the indicator would flash or blink when close to full charge instead of the solid red light when plugged in. I.e less than fifty 1 blink a second, seventy five percent charge 2 blinks… etc. I know I’m asking for a smarter battery which would be hard to program and install in such a small device, but I wouldn’t mind spending the extra money for a simple feature like that.
This battery is really nice and convenient. The thing i appreciated was i wasnt too sure which battery I needed for my flashlightso i emailed and was given a prompt reply
I recently purchased 6 PD35 flashlights and love them. this battery is a breeze to use and is powerful. I will be getting more. I feel a good light is important and I have found one that I would like every one I care about to have.
Purchased as a replacement and could not be happier. The built in USB charger allows me multiple charging options. I am not tied to an outlet anymore! I use my light quite a bit and this battery holds the charge.
Incredible flashlight. Extremely bright and nice to have the different levels of brightness. I probably should have opted for both instead of one, to have the rechargeable feature but i’ll just use the rechargeable one to charge both batteries. It’s amazing for such a small flashlight to have the power it has.
I have charged these batteries without a problem but, honestly, I’m still using the 2600mAh that I’ve been using for a few years now so I really cannot review this battery yet. I use my Fenix UC35 on the lower brightness settings maybe 80% of the time, so the batteries LAST quite a while. I do expect the 3500mAh to last a ridiculously long time.

These batteries are awesome. Charging them with a USB cable makes them very convenient. I have 2 sets of these batteries now and have been using one set for more than a year in 2 different Fenix PD35TAC flashlights. The PD35TAC and these batteries are my everyday carry for work. I can say with 100% confidence, that if you purchased a Fenix PD35TAC and these Fenix batteries, you will be very happy with their reliability and performance.
My husband needed rechargeable batteries, so i purchased this to try and it is working great for him. He uses his torchlight daily for work. I bought 1 battery for me and 2 batteries for him, so he always has a fully charged backup, and all is going well, so do hope it stays that way.
I love the USB charging port on these batteries. I also own 4 PD 35 Tactical lights, and 2 HL60R Headlights equipped with these batteries. Fenix is by far the best lights I’ve ever used. Thanks.
This Batt. will give you a little bit more run time than the one that comes with the light .When your running low just remove the 2900 mah batt. and put this one in and let there be more light .
Sturdy battery. Love the charging port built into the battery itself. You won’t have to pack a separate charger. The battery also has a light that tells you when it’s charging and when it’s charged. What more can you ask for?

This battery has worked great for me so far! We went on vacation and I’m the only one who carries a flashlight, so it saw a *lot* of use over the week and a half we were in the mountains. I’ve been using it in the PD35, at all levels of brightness, and it hasn’t needed recharged yet.
These are great batteries. The run times in both the HP25R and HL60R are outstanding. Having the ability to recharge outside of the lamps allows me to top off multiple batteries at one time without a dedicated charger. The only issue I have had with these is one burned out when I accidentally plugged it into my cell phones quick charger. These batteries are pretty long, but will also work with some of the Zebra lights as well.

These batteries are very high quality and last for quite a while. Despite their high capacity, they charge much faster than expected. The many battery protection features are also a plus.
These batteries can’t be beat by any other brand, period! I have bought many different brands to try and get by without spending the money, but don’t even try the others out, they can’t compare.
I keep,a couple lights in our emergency bags, so was looking for the longest run times. The 3500U is just what I needed. love the USB port right in the battery! I can charge it at home, work or in the car. Thank you for a great product and the accessories to support it!
This battery works very well – easy to charge and it has a long life. My preference is the 3500 size instead of ones with less capacity. The “U” here seems to stand for the ability to charge the battery directly without a charger. Seems to charge faster with the charger. Great product.
These batteries are truly great. The usb port makes charging them very easy, as everyone has a charger or three. They exhibit a very long run time. I have been using them for a while now and have had no problems.

This battery is beyond amazing, I have been messing with 18650’s for over 4 years now and this thing is almost impossible to drain. I can use it for weeks with my pd32 on high & turbo mode for a few minutes (give or take) or so a day, at work, at home, or just whenever needed, and every time I throw it on the charger to see how much it has drained – I have never seen it below 4.05V. This thing is simply a monster. As everyone knows though, you get what you pay for! The added micro usb port, and extra Mah is a HUGE plus! I dont see how 18650s could get much better than this one. Dont think…just BUY! : )
This battery is beyond amazing, I have been using 18650’s for over 4 years now for all sorts of things and this one seems almost impossible to drain. The cutoff voltage is 4.2V. & I can literally use it for weeks in my pd32 on high & turbo mode for 5 minutes (give or take) or so a day, at work or at home or just whenever needed, and every time I throw it on the charger to see how much it has drained – it never has been below 4.05V. This thing is simply a monster. As everyone knows though, you get what you pay for! Not to mention the added micro Usb port and extra Mah is a Huge Plus! I just simply don’t see how 18650’s could get any better than this one when it comes to Fenix tactical flashlights. Dont think…just BUY! : )
Bought the PD35 tactical flashlight and the battery charger. I had a PD35 with the 3400 battery already. To my surprise the tactical came with a 3500 battery. I swapped batteries, put the 3500 battery in my PD35 and vis-versa both lights now have the same top brightness. So if you already have the PD35 with a 3400 battery… upgrade the battery, it will blow you away

I use my Fenix UC35 on the lower brightness settings maybe 80% of the time, so the batteries LAST quite a while. I do expect the 3500mAh to last a ridiculously long time.

These batteries are awesome. Charging them with a USB cable makes them very convenient. I have 2 sets of these batteries now and have been using one set for more than a year in 2 different Fenix PD35TAC flashlights. The PD35TAC and these batteries are my everyday carry for work. I can say with 100% confidence, that if you purchased a Fenix PD35TAC and these Fenix batteries, you will be very happy with their reliability and performance.

My husband needed rechargeable batteries, so i purchased this to try and it is working great for him. He uses his torchlight daily for work. I bought 1 battery for me and 2 batteries for him, so he always has a fully charged backup, and all is going well, so do hope it stays that way.

I love the USB charging port on these batteries. I also own 4 PD 35 Tactical lights, and 2 HL60R Headlights equipped with these batteries. Fenix is by far the best lights I’ve ever used. Thanks.

Happy with the battery life so far. Can’t speak on how long the battery itself will last as I have only charged it about 3 times.
Stephen (verified owner) –
This Batt. will give you a little bit more run time than the one that comes with the light .When your running low just remove the 2900 mah batt. and put this one in and let there be more light .

Great feature, very easy to recharge
Donna M. (verified owner) –
Like having a rechargeable bsttery
Al C. (verified owner) –
Sturdy battery. Love the charging port built into the battery itself. You won’t have to pack a separate charger. The battery also has a light that tells you when it’s charging and when it’s charged. What more can you ask for?

Love the ability to recharge.

Great runtime.

This battery has worked great for me so far! We went on vacation and I’m the only one who carries a flashlight, so it saw a *lot* of use over the week and a half we were in the mountains. I’ve been using it in the PD35, at all levels of brightness, and it hasn’t needed recharged yet.

Great capacity and great convenience, 3500 mAH and an USB charging port are the perfect combination.
Cornelia U. (verified owner) –
lasts a long time
Dan B. (verified owner) –
These are great batteries. The run times in both the HP25R and HL60R are outstanding. Having the ability to recharge outside of the lamps allows me to top off multiple batteries at one time without a dedicated charger. The only issue I have had with these is one burned out when I accidentally plugged it into my cell phones quick charger. These batteries are pretty long, but will also work with some of the Zebra lights as well.

These batteries are very high quality and last for quite a while. Despite their high capacity, they charge much faster than expected. The many battery protection features are also a plus.

These batteries can’t be beat by any other brand, period! I have bought many different brands to try and get by without spending the money, but don’t even try the others out, they can’t compare.

I keep,a couple lights in our emergency bags, so was looking for the longest run times. The 3500U is just what I needed. love the USB port right in the battery! I can charge it at home, work or in the car. Thank you for a great product and the accessories to support it!

This battery works very well – easy to charge and it has a long life. My preference is the 3500 size instead of ones with less capacity. The “U” here seems to stand for the ability to charge the battery directly without a charger. Seems to charge faster with the charger. Great product.
Paul Carroll (verified owner) –
Great little battery. Outstanding job!

These batteries are truly great. The usb port makes charging them very easy, as everyone has a charger or three. They exhibit a very long run time. I have been using them for a while now and have had no problems.

This battery is beyond amazing, I have been messing with 18650’s for over 4 years now and this thing is almost impossible to drain. I can use it for weeks with my pd32 on high & turbo mode for a few minutes (give or take) or so a day, at work, at home, or just whenever needed, and every time I throw it on the charger to see how much it has drained – I have never seen it below 4.05V. This thing is simply a monster. As everyone knows though, you get what you pay for! The added micro usb port, and extra Mah is a HUGE plus! I dont see how 18650s could get much better than this one. Dont think…just BUY! : )

This battery is beyond amazing, I have been using 18650’s for over 4 years now for all sorts of things and this one seems almost impossible to drain. The cutoff voltage is 4.2V. & I can literally use it for weeks in my pd32 on high & turbo mode for 5 minutes (give or take) or so a day, at work or at home or just whenever needed, and every time I throw it on the charger to see how much it has drained – it never has been below 4.05V. This thing is simply a monster. As everyone knows though, you get what you pay for! Not to mention the added micro Usb port and extra Mah is a Huge Plus! I just simply don’t see how 18650’s could get any better than this one when it comes to Fenix tactical flashlights. Dont think…just BUY! : )

Bought the PD35 tactical flashlight and the battery charger. I had a PD35 with the 3400 battery already. To my surprise the tactical came with a 3500 battery. I swapped batteries, put the 3500 battery in my PD35 and vis-versa both lights now have the same top brightness. So if you already have the PD35 with a 3400 battery… upgrade the battery, it will blow you away
