* 16340 Li-ion batteries are powerful cells designed for commercial applications and must be treated with caution and handled with care. Only use quality batteries with circuit protection will reduce the potential for combustion or explosion; but cell damage or short circuiting are potential risks the user assumes.

 

Battery Replacement
Unscrew the light tail and insert the battery with the anode side (+) towards the light head, then screw the light tail back on.

 

Charging

  1. First switch off the light and plug the USB A socket of the charging cable into an electrical outlet, then connect the USB Type-C socket of the charging cable to the light.
  2. The indicator will blink red while charging, and will turn green when fully charged.
  3. Once charging is completed, be sure to close the anti-dust cover to maintain the dustproof and waterproof ability.

Note:

  1. The normal charging time of the included Fenix ARB-L16-700P rechargeable Li-ion battery is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes from depletion to full charging.
  2. Recharge a stored light every four months to maintain optimum performance of the battery.

Battery Level Indication
Each time the light is turned on, the indicator will indicate the battery level and will last for 3 seconds.

  • Green light on: saturated 100% – 85%
  • Green light flashes: sufficient 85% – 50%
  • Red light on: poor 50% – 25%
  • Red light flashes: critical 25% – 1%

Note: This only works with Fenix ARB-L16-700P 16340 rechargeable Li-ion battery.

 

Intelligent Overheat Protection
The light will accumulate a lot of heat when used on relatively high modes for extended periods. When the light reaches a temperature of 60°C or above, the light will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. When the temperature drops below 60°C, it will then allow the user for the reselection of high modes.

 

Low-voltage Warning
When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the flashlight is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Moonlight mode is reached. When this happens in Moonlight mode, the light constantly blinks red to remind you to timely recharge or replace the battery.

 

Note: This only works with Fenix ARB-L16-700P 16340 rechargeable Li-ion battery.

Versatile and powerful

Versatile and powerful flashlight, combined in a small package.
1. Good range of brightness levels
2. The tail magnet adds additional utility
3. Using the built-in lockout, and covering the on/off button with the clip is sufficient to keep the flashlight from turning on in your pocket

Powerful little unit!

Love the light in every way, the only problem I have encountered is the battery started to refuse to hold a charge unless the flashlight charger was plugged in less than one month after purchase.

Good Light

It's fine, not a bad light at all. Bit smaller than I would have liked but it's not as if that wasn't disclosed. Probably gonna grab a other unit of something larger and keep this for a hat/magnetic flashlight. Do wish it had 1 button on/off functionality but it also doesn't have any of the other problems from other flashlights so I guess it's a trade off for the best.

Highest Five Star Rating

Completely satisfied with the Fenix E18R Rechargeable EDC Flashlight. It's a quality product, small in stature, big on performance. If you're looking for something compact, this is it.

Light

The light is not a smooth to operate as in most lights that I have had. There was not a lot of engineering into how to keep pant pocket from turning on the light. However, it’s bright and that is the only reason I would not return this light. Overall I give it a 3 out of 10.

Hi Josh - did you engage the lockout mode to ensure that it wasn't activating when you put it in your pocket? If not, per the Operating Instructions, which are also available on the product page if you no longer have your copy:

Lock/Unlock

With the light switched off, double click the side switch the light flashes twice and enters lockout mode, double click the side switch again to unlock the light.
