Maglite 6 Volt NiMH Battery Pack for Mag Charger - ARXX235

I keep this charged up all the time in case of power outages during the winter months with snow and ice storms. Holds a great charge for hours. In fact I have never had it go weak. I have kept it on solid for hours with no less brightness. Great product with a good solid reputation. I have 2 with my Maglite RE1019 flashlight and it will give me hours of dependable light. My wife knows that when we have a power outage this is her favorite flashlight battery. Loaded in the flashlight gives her a feeling of protection as this is like a club if you had to use it. I can't say enough about this product. Maglite is quality in my book.Tom

EVERYTHING YOU'D EVER WANT TO KNOW ABOUT USING THIS BATTERY STICK -The OEM battery stick is always made by Intec. This is a very good battery, manufactured to high standards. The 5-digit printed code on the battery reveals: the first digit is always "I" (Intec), the 2nd and 3rd digits are the week of the year the battery was manufactured; the 4th and 5th digits are the year the battery was manufactured. In example, "I4914" would mean it was manufactured by Intec (for Maglite) between November 30th and December 6th of 2014.(1) This is a 6 VDC battery stick using NiMH battery chemistry, with a capacity of 3.5 Ah (can sustain a amperage drain of 1 amp for 3.5 hours, but real-world results are more common at 2 hours and 55 minutes).(2) ALWAYS charge a brand new rechargable battery for 24 hours to initiate complete saturation. If you can, mark the date of initial service on the battery with a marker or label.(3) NiMH has a 20% self-discharge rate per month when it isn't used. If not kept on a trickle charger, the battery should be topped off at least every 3 weeks, if not sooner.(4) NEVER charge a battery that is hot. Always wait 2 hours for the battery to cool and stabilize if it has been used to the point of becoming hot.(5) NiMH has a discharge-recharge cycle limit of approximately 500 times (depending on many factors).(6) Each NiMH cell is based on 1.2 working volts (5 half-D cells in this stick equals 6 volts).(7) The cut-off discharge voltage should not be allowed to drop below 5.0 volts (16.6666667% undervoltage) for optimal battery life.(8) *Batteries work optimally at 80 degrees F. If the temperature is higher, the voltage will drop; if the temperature is lower, the current will drop.(9) Most rechargable batteries are optimally charged at 61.7 degrees F (between 59 and 64.4 degrees F) ambient air. The slower you charge a battery the better it is for the battery.(10) Heat kills batteries. Do not let them roast/bake in a hot car (that includes you, LEO's).(11) Leave this battery stick in the MagCharger flashlight charging all the time when not in use. Once a month open the flashlight and examine the battery stick visually and electrically. Electrically, this new, fully charged NiMH battery should show 7.0 volts (16.6666667 % overvoltage) right out of the charger. If left to stabilize for more than 2 hours, it should read about 6.75 volts.(12) Never drop or slam the battery stick or flashlight; the battery core of the cell(s) could crack, allowing leakage and/or destruction of the battery and the flashlight.(13) If you have no plans to use the flashlight for more then 1 month, fully charge and then remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place (it's original box is good). You should still reassemble and recharge it every 3 weeks.(14) NEVER allow the MagCharger flashlight to sit in the charging cradle with the power supply disconnected/ non-functional; it will eventually drain the battery stick and destroy it to the point that it leaks and ruins the flashlight.(15) Maglite MagCharger flashlights systems are guaranteed for life to the original purchaser, excluding abuse of course. The ONLY things not covered are the bulb, the battery (after 1 year), and if you have a battery leak that stops the flashlight from operating (that's the one to be on guard for).This battery is used in a professional flashlight, and the battery stick, like the flashlight, is not cheap. With professional care, this battery stick should last at least several years (roughly 3 to 5 years), but may last up to 10 years under laboritory care conditions.*Voltage efficiency:80 deg F. = 100% / 90 deg F. = 71% / 100 deg F. = 50%Current efficiency:80 deg F. = 100% / 70 deg F. = 95% / 60 deg F. = 89% / 50 deg F. = 82% / 40 deg F. = 74% / 30 deg F. = 67% / 20 deg F. = 58% / 10 deg F. = 50%

This fit perfectly and got my flashlight working!

The Maglite rechargable flashlite is one of the finist flashlights available. It's no wonder Police, Fire, Rescue, Home Inspectors, etc use this light. It's 30,000 lumen light is so bright that you can see it even on a sunny day. It's equally impressive at night also. That said, the batteries only last between two and seven years depending on use. With daily use as a home inspector they usually lasted two to two and half years with daily recharging. Since getting out of that business five years ago I've used the flashlite like most families, ocasionally as needed and when my grand children liked to remind me how bright they are. They too were quite impressed with them. Let me tell you - you get used to not having to replace batteries in your flashlite. But like all things; nothing last forever. But recently I finally tired of having one dim flash light that needed regular recharging ( I own three ). I asked my wife who's always out and about to stop by a national tool and electric franchise to pick me up a replacement battery. Fortunetly the sales clerk couldn't figure out which battery was correct and when she got home and reminded me how much they charge for em I said "well let's look on line". Good thing cause Amazon sells them for half as much. When I pulled my old battery I saw that I had wriitten the purchase date of Aug 03 on it. So there you have it. I used that light for two years professionally and four and half years as Harry Home Owner. So, are they worth it? you betcha. If you want to buy one flashlight that will serve you for likely the rest of your life, buy a Maglite rechargable and note the date of purchase on the battery. It's nice to be reminded years later how long it worked. Good luck. d

I like it and seems to be working well, but I am not getting the run time that they advertise with it. I think it is still better than the old style.

Fits fine in my 1987 Magcharger light. Seems to be working fine.

Great Price, Fast Shipping. Perfect for My Rechargeable Mag Flashlight. AA++

Needed replacement for last one that made it four years with nightly use. Highly recommended.
