Flashlight Charger

Types of Rechargeable Flashlight Charging Mechanisms

The charging mechanisms of rechargeable flashlights vary based on model and manufacturer. Besides the traditional cradle charging method, other common charging mechanisms include:

• Solar Charging - A great option for times when you may not have access to an electrical outlet, a solar flashlight charger is the most environmentally friendly charging method available. However, solar charging is often much slower than other methods and requires direct exposure to sunlight to operate.
• Micro USB Charging - Because of its versatility, this type of flashlight battery charger is one of the most popular charging methods. Although micro USB charge times can be a bit slower than the wall outlet method, it may be a more convenient option since you'll have the ability to charge the flashlight via laptop, computer or wall outlet with the right adapter.
• Vehicle Cigarette Lighter Charging - Some rechargeable flashlights are equipped with a cable that fits into a vehicle cigarette lighter port. Many vehicles now have built-in USB ports that allow convenient recharging while on the go, too.
