Anyone know if these fat 26650 batteries will charge on an Xtar WPG II charger? I have so many 18650s would suck to need a new charger

Dang! I really thought this was going to be an almost perfect light and thanks to this new info I realize that it does not have a rear clickie switch. I thought the side switch was just for changing modes. This is a major disappointment for me as I was ready to buy one of these when I first heard about it several weeks ago.

Just checked, but I don't see a Fenix branded charger, that can charge a 26650 battery. Wonder if they will release a new charger too?

In the slides they are suggesting the are-c2 as a accessory, so it could probably handle it.
EDIT: Looking from pictures, it can take 26650, though only 2 at a time.

Could you tell me why? Because of the better runtime or battery?
thanks in advance from germany

I already have batteries for it, and I like a rear clicky. It has a Turbo instead of a Burst mode and better runtime (specially on lowest mode). It is a little bit larger, but I'll take that.

So light is available sooner than the battery, but you need to purchase the battery separately. Right....

Sorry guys, general question: is 'Turbo' a latching mode on a torch and 'Burst' a momentary (keep finger held) button press for max output?

Keen to see how the UK price for this light works out. Thought I wanted a TK51 with ARE-C2 charger and 18650's as my first powerful torch 'kit', but maybe I should wait till all 2015 models are out - wanted a future proof charger/battery setup.

Burst is indeed a momentary mode.

Fenix-store.com shows the PD40 being available on approx. Feb 13. Price is $99.95. Over priced, IMO.

That is NOT the case! I have Two Fenix ARE-C2 Four Bay Chargers and they charge 26650's. I have done it many times a few lights of mine that require 26650. They made the Two Outside bays bigger so you can charge Two w/ Two 18650 in the middle slots or a smaller 14500 or 16340 :)

Me? In the Fenix 2015 Catalogue I listed $160 for the price of the LD75, not the PD40.
