Streamlight Stinger Battery Choices

JAS · Nov 22, 2015

I still have a Streamlight Stinger that has been converted to LED. I still have some NiCD battery sticks, but t hey need to be replaced. Should I stay with NiCD or should I go to NiMH?

I am considering the after-market one from Battery Junction.

Get Streamlight's Li-Ion, part number 75176.

Unless weight is a concern, the lithium-ion doesn't offer any capacity advantage over NiMH and has a lower cycle count. I would recommend OEM NiMH as they don't degrade over time like lithium-ion.

Can that be charged with the same charger?

Yes, the circuitry is inside the lithium-ion battery pack. A fast charger is preferable though.

Why is the fast charger preferable?

The standard/steady charger outputs 180mA, which would be less than 0.1C. Slow charge is not necessarily a good thing for lithium-ion, unlike NiCd/NiMH, and can cause more wear.

I have been dragging my tail on this. Can anybody recommend a source for an after-market battery for my well used Streamlight Stinger?

Did you ever replace this battery? Did you go lithium ion? I have an old stinger just sitting around that needs a battery and didn't know about a lithium was available.

Yes, I did replace it with a NiMH battery stick. It is working very well for me.
