There are a lot of fake and misleading deals out there, so what are some of the legitimate deals that are worth getting?

For example:

  • Things for which the advice through the year was 'wait for Black Friday'.
  • Good brands that you recommend (ethical, good quality, or some other reason)

Do they still have non-replaceable batteries? Better opt for something with standard Li-Ion cells

[โ€“] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

The arkeld flashlight isn't round. It's flatter so it fits nicer in a pocket, so standard round lithium batteries would be either small capacity to fit in the form factor, or too big to fit in it. An 18650 for instance would be way too wide.

So no. The non flat battery is not a generic battery. But as stated above, the lifetime guarantee includes the battery itself, so in five years time if the light doesn't hold much juice anymore, send it in and they'll replace it.
