Non-standard charging cable
Great flashlight. The fact that it requires a unique power adapter to charge is a maddening design flaw. I refuse to lug yet another power adapter with me when I travel. And when I inevitably misplace the power adapter, the flashlight is useless. Definitely returning this item. Why would you have a rechargeable product without USB these days?

marc.wallensteinEngineers already know the answer here. This is a higher voltage product than a standard usb micro plug can charge correctly. It could work with the Power Delivery protocol of USB-C but when plugged into a USB-C cable/charger without Power Delivery the charge performance is anemic. I have a Power Delivery C to C outlet installed in my car that can downshift for non-PD devices. I like it and would prefer it for this light.
But I can see why they went proprietary for the size and voltage/current specificity of this device. I have 18650 and 28650 lights that recharge via micro USB. Perfect for travel/road charging and use. This little monster and its proprietary charger come out for tasks that require extra brightness or runtime, such as car camping or power outages.
