Fenix Rechargeable Batteries

High-capacity lithium-ion cells built for the demands of high-drain LED flashlights and headlamps. The most common sizes are 18650 and 21700, which power the majority of Fenix handheld lights.

Sizes and capacities

Fenix also offers 16340, 14500, and specialty cells for smaller models. Key specs are capacity in milliamp-hours (mAh) for runtime, discharge rate for high-output performance, and whether the cell includes built-in USB-C charging or requires an external charger. All Fenix batteries include protection circuits to prevent over-discharge and short circuits.

Why manufacturer-matched matters

Using manufacturer-matched batteries ensures your flashlight delivers rated output and runtime. Mismatched or counterfeit cells can damage the light, reduce output, or fail early. If you use your lights daily, keeping one or two spare cells fully charged is the easiest way to guarantee uninterrupted runtime. For charging, see our smart chargers page.
