[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1676787, member: 229"] The problem with using an AA-powered flashlight for self-defense is that it usually sits for long periods of time without being used (unless you're training with it regularly). Standard AA's are not known for their longevity and you don't want it to be dead when you need it most. Lithium-powered batteries are designed to last for a super-long period of time and not lose a charge. If you are still planning on using an AA-powered flashlight, I would recommend going to WalMart (or wherever) and in the photo department (you usually have to ask for them since people were stealing them off of the shelf) get some lithium-powered AA batteries. Another issue with AA-powered flashlights is that not too many of them come in 1" diameter (which is pretty standard for most weapon-mounts). [/QUOTE]
