Picked up one of these to try and lighten my pack weight a little. I’ve
been using a ZebraLight H52W as my headlamp and it uses AA batteries. Rather
than carry additional AA batteries, I now carry a single Fenix ARB-L14-1600U
Li-ion rechargeable. What I like about this unit is the integrated USB port and
charger. I already carry an Anker PowerCore 13000, so charging this tiny battery
for my headlamp is easy. This battery weighs 19 grams. For comparison, a
standard Duracell AA weighs 25 grams and an Energizer Ultimate Lithium weighs
15 grams. Although not the lightest battery, I only need to carry one.
**One issue to note so far is that the battery is current limited and
self protection circuit trips when using the ZebraLight on its highest
settings.
I’ll be updating this periodically with my experiences as I use it
more.
