About to buy an 18650 powered light - is there such a beastie as a 18650 primary battery? Obviously I'm after the benefits of rechargeables by buying a light with this size battery, but was wondering if primaries were at all available, e.g. for an emergency glovebox or blackout spare.

Haven't heard of one, but thought I'd ask anyway.
 
Never heard of any primaries either. Why dont you get a bigger lead acid battery to power your charger?
 
Primary 18650s don't exist.

If you have a light that can run of two CR123As you can use those, of course; if it's only meant for one cell you can, in a pinch, make do with a CR123 and a spacer, but you'll get less power due to the lower voltage (if the light works at all, that is).
