i can't say nothing but good things about those batteries.....very nice. none of mine had failed since like 3 years or more. they still retain nice capacity. ....very very good, i have a couple of panasonic and really they stand with them no prob for daily use
Agree two previous posts. Only wonder why AA version of this cells is twice more expensive than AAA (oruginal enerloops have 20-30% price difference).
I love the brand name too. 
Is there any news on the release of the AA version of this light?
Thanks for the help, but FT shipping is crazy $35. Found some Turnigy 900mAh LSD at HobbyKing, but their reviews kinda scary.
Wuuut??
That IS crazy…
Apparently only interesting for Europe, i have to pay approximately 1/10 of that for shipping.
But maybe you can find them on ebay too.
Is it speculation that there will be a AA version or is it official?
I seem to recall Manker saying they planned to release one, but they didn’t have a schedule for it yet.
Yes
it is official speculation 
I too am speculating,
Also speculating if O-Light will produce an AA/14500 headlamp. First came the H1 Nova (CR123 / 16340) followed by the H2R Nova (18650 ) how about the H1.5 Nova??
A AA Version was mentioned here Review: Manker E02 (AAA, L shaped, XP-G3 200+ Lumens) - #37 by Mankerlight

Thank you, joechina - that let me find the post I was thinking of:
That would be an H1A then
I’m in contact with Olight quite a bit because of the models I test for them but heard nothing about an AA headlamp…
Rats , :cry: Opportunity lost
Yes, here is the AA Version
I bought one of these, it is a nice light, but it quit working. No damage, just powered off and would not turn back on. Luckily I can still return it…
EDIT: Whoops, look like I accidentally got into lock-out mode.
Does anyone know if you can purchase just the headband for the E02? I have an E02 and am interested in purchasing just the headband.
I was about to ask for the headband only too... But today I recharged the eneloop inside my 1month old e02 in mint conditions and than plugged back in and the flashlight after brief test worked, few seconds later as I needed it didn't worked anymore.
Tried with eneloop freshly charged and measured with dmm. Tried with alcalines (Duracell freshly taken from the shop where i m working) and also some lithium primaries from Olight I just received bundled with few Olight Stuff......
Light was bought from HKE... It's the first time i see a lights silently dying for no reason....I don't know if I should contact manker here on this forum, or HKE...I'm not very confident tbh
One common failure I have heard of is people invoking the lockout feature. Not sure if that happened here or not.
I will add the answer I got back from Manker is no, headband is not available separately.
