Imagine having to find a replacement 44245 cell 
Did you buy this when you had know idea what you was doing and probably thought a maglite was super bright? or just thought u know what…lemme take a stupid risk.
I bought it quite a few years ago when the most powerful led torches were still well under 1000 lumens, thinking back it was around the same time the Fenix Pd30 came out (which i paid 50 bucks for) 2012 ish i think
I got the pair the 85w & 35w spare pack for each and it was quite a lot of money… by todays standards they are a joke!
44245? is that what’s in them?
Maybe you forgot to “Torch Lithium Battery using Warning Instruction”. That’s why it wasn’t so bright.
LOL you have to love Ching’glish

Hands shaking I need a meeting
I have a few Reylights inbound. Most I’ve paid for flashlights. I use to have a hard $50 dollar limit. Apparently I threw that out the window. I just don’t buy as many lights as I use to so, spending the extra money for fancy lights isn’t really costing any more. I don’t buy just any light that comes along now. All my lights are exactly the way I wan’t them now. I have no need to buy stock lights just so I can work on them. So, it takes a special light to open my wallet.
Have no clue. I just looked at the dimensions of the cell 44 x 245mm.
I have a D4Ti in the mail I got it @74 bucks with options. So far this is the most expensive light I’ve bought.
Q. "Expensive light(s) you purchased?"
A. Yes, they have I.
There are no classifications of lights that I do not like.
I have stayed with (mostly the larger) lights offered under recognized good quality Chinese brand names, because they offer beam performance and beam profile that I am interested in.
As the lumen race has progressed in the past few years, so has the upper price limit that I have set for myself.
I have not yet gotten bitten by the smaller size "jewellery class" light bug, nor the upper-end American mid-size edc light bug, nor the entry-level Chinese class of lights. That does not mean that I think there is something not right with any of them. I know that my light life, which is the light of my physical life, would be vastly widened if I got bitten by their bug, but so far, not yet.
Bought Surefire U2 long time ago.
Still have and use it.

$600-Deft-X. That was in 2013. Sold it for $550
Must be my Olight X7Marauder, I payed 140 dollar. I changed the leds to warm XHP70’s. It never gets use because the Q8 does it better; a bit less output but way throwier, the X7 is pure flood.
Mateminco MT70 Plus, paid way too much for it, $230 usd because I wanted the green one. Except for twice when I tested it, it has been sitting on my shelf since I got it. It was my last expensive light. Not paying more than $30 for anything anymore after I recently got my MF01S.
Well, my most expensive light was the RovyVon E300s Angel Eyes!
Why? ’Cause I paid 72,77€ for the light + shipping (DHL) and I paid 65,05€ to release it from Customs
End of story: 137,82€ on that flashlight…
