You can take a look to the Wuben flashlights 
Wuben Versatile EDC Flashlights - Compact, Rechargeable, & Diverse Shapes
Some have in-built charge, and I guess others have rechargeable batteries!
They are sold in several places (I normally search in AliExpress) but there other places for sure!
Also, if you want a small 18650 light with in-built charger, take a look at this thread: Folomov EDC-C4
The Jetbeam E10R is an extremely nice and small light and it features regularly in deal threads for less than $20.
The big flaw in that light is that charging a NiMh battery (like AA Eneloop) via the USB-port does not go well, the charging stops at 70 or so % from full. But if you use a 14500 in it (which has better energy density anyway) charging is fine.
Hi,
Look for the Jet Beam E10R AA / 14500 built in charge, although it has been reported the charging function will not fully charge an 14500 . For Ni-mh it works. JetBeam also has the E01R AAA size with charging function.
This is a description I’m not endorsing any particular vendor
i have a $10 nicron UV 16340 light, it is well made, though i would hate twisty for regular carrying
wle
so….the Jetbeam aa/14500….which battery wont it charge fully? i see conflicting reports
Looks nice otherwise!
The only reports I read were about not fully charging 14500’s.
thank you :+1:
bummer, i probably liked that one the best
According to this review by Enelooper it’s fine with Li-ion 14500s but undercharges Ni-MH AAs (backed up by Trevi_lux) - [REVIEW] JETBeam E10R 1xAA USB Rechargeable Flashlight
However, this Bc412’s sample massively undercharged Li-ion 14500s - Jetbeam E10R Review
Bc412’s light was undercharging so much I’m wondering whether it was defective, rather than a poorly designed charging circuit.
The charging issues and cool white LED have put me buying one so far, but I like my other JETBeams so much I’ll probably get one eventually.
Where did you buy the UT01 for $9.99?
I found this light once more:

Two for $10.55
This flashlight was delivered on January 11, 2018. It has become my all around favorite light. I chose the neutral tint option. It is a warm tint. So if it matters this is my current favorite AA/14500 flashlight.
Hm, have you considered the FW3A Groupbuy?
It’s a 18650, but verry compact, SK68 like. The design is not quite fixed.
In the AAA/10440 form factor, i’m very partial to the Ultratac K18. Possibly the brightest in it’s category, very well made and nice to look at. A USB charger add-on is also available - which is a must have to charge small cells at a moderate current not always possible on most charger.
Wow the Ultratac K18 in that website has a Nichia option. Even Ultratac’s own website doesn’t even have that. The XP-G2 version runs at 110 lumens on AAA. I wonder which Nichia emitter it uses and which tint. I would buy it if it has 4000k or 4500k tint as I really want a good AAA or AA nichia warm/neutral light.
I just got my Lumintop Tool with the 219… quite nice!
I’m not a fan of AAA lights, so I never got any Tools before, and this is my first, pretty much only because of the 219. Think it’s a 4000K 219BT, maybe 4500K, don’t recall offhand.
I didn’t know the Tool AAA came with nichia, I reflowed a 219C into mine and the result is quite nice (except for the medium > low > high UI), and once I choose my favorite AA light it’s getting another emitter from my dead D4
I also have two lumintop tool AAA that I recently bought from bangood but their color temp is more like 5000k. I was hoping for warmer temp
Hmmm. Was thinking it was just H→M→L instead of L→M→H. It “resets” to M after enough off-time? That’d suck. I’d rather have true memory, or if no memory, start on L.
Guess I didn’t play with it long enough…
Fwiw, that’s one reason I never bothered with OnTheRoad lights, ’cause they all seemed to start on M. They look quite nice otherwise.
Wow thanks for the suggestions Patmurris and Joechina!
Awesome looking lights.
I know my wife would love the Ultratac K18 (maybe even the FW3A, and if not, its mine lol).
Thanks again!
