Fenix 14500 battery is the AA size Li-Ion rechargeable battery that has two variations. The ARB-L14-800 battery is 3.6 Volt that is designed for the Fenix LD09, E25 Ultimate Edition, HL35, RC05 models in order to drive the light to new heights in their Turbo Mode. The ARB-L14-1600U built-in USB rechargeable battery is 1.5 Volt, designed to be a rechargeable alternative to a standard AA battery. However, the 1.5 Volt will not allow you to reach Turbo Mode in the models perfused before. This battery is quickly charged via micro-USB charging port, no need to carry a separate charger.
Note for the 1600U: Only charge using USB cable to USB port on battery. Do not charge by other device.
At time of shopping, I saw the note that it’s charge by a usb charger but didn’t mind because I also got the ARE-A4 charger. Suggest that indicate in BOLD letters that the 14500 1600U cannot be charged by any other charger except by the usb charger. Now, if I order the usb charger I lost my new member discount. Overall my shopping experience is a very pleasant one.
Hello Francisco – please note that the following statement, in bold, is listed under both the list of specifications on the 14500 page, as well as under the Additional Features tab:
“Only charge using USB cable to USB port on battery. Do not charge by other device.”
I have added the statement to the end of the main descriptive paragraph as well.
