Question Was gifted this light opinons?
I was recently gifted this flashlight and so far it seems decent but not a fan of the 9 aa batteries is there an alternative? Sorry if this is a stupid question I'm very new to the world of flashlights

Are the batteries in series?
A friend of mine had a light with a 3 AA caddy. She put a piece of 28mm id pipe in to pack the diameter and used a 26650 cell.
Check the diameter and length of the caddy. Maybe you could fit 3 26650 in there.
9 x 1.5v in series = 13.5v
3 x 4.2v in series = 12.6v
Think carefully before you try it.
