Usage and Maintenance of the E12 V2.0 AA Flashlight
- Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.
- Fenix recommends using an excellent quality battery.
- If the light will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the light could be damaged by electrolyte leakage or battery explosion.
- Unscrew the tail cap half a turn or take out the battery to prevent accidental activation during storage or transportation.
- Long-term use can result in O-ring wear. To maintain a proper water seal, replace the ring with an approved spare.

I’ve had a few E12’s…this is the best one yet. The bezel is a real nice touch, looks classy. Quality build and feels a bit heavy for a single AA. Love it. Eneloop (Pro) is a real nice battery for this light. 14500’s work too. Clicky is total ASMR. (ditto for the E20 w/ two AA’s) If Fenix ever makes these E’s with attractive metals get out the wallet !!

A great Little light, I use ion batteries mostly, but I love to have the option of a back up standard AA. I like that the first click is a very low light, most of my lights start in the brightest setting.
I bought two😊

Don’t like the three modes,would have been happy with the old E12 with one mode at 160 lumens. Otherwise the quality is awesome

Hi Kirby. Actually the original E12 also had three modes. Low was 8 lumens, Med 50, and high at 130. The E12 V2 is 5, 30 and 160.
