Zebralight SC52 & SC52w

[sarge1967]

Has anyone tried Nitecore or Olight 14500 batteries in the sc52? Do they fit?

I use a Nitecore 14500 in my SC52. Fits perfectly.

OK, I just ordered a sc52w thanks to all the praise and a 10% off coupon code. My second Zebralight (sc62 was my first, last month. I'm a recent ZL convert.)

I also have had good luck with the "flame" Trustfires 14500. I use them in my SC52w and Quark Tactical QTA. No problems at all and performance, at least so far.

How well have your SC52's been holding up so far?

Did anyone drop the light several times on hard ground or what kind of damage or failure did you guys experience? I am thinking of retiring my SC52w since i got the Nitcore PD-series light with that awesome flicker-free electronic momentary switch, the piston drive.

Mine has hit concrete more times than I can count. Never hurt it.

I had a H51r that flew off my bike a couple of times, once at 50kmh and it hit bitumen and it survived. Then a year later I dropped it 60cm to a concrete floor and it must have fallen the wrong way because now some of the modes don't work, including strobe which was the most important for me.

My brother has killed a couple of H51's/H502's just using it for work with normal wear and tear. So I'm not sure how tough they really are, particularly all the AA ones with no head spring.

SEND it to me, I will do it

My sc52 has been dropped, submurged, and beat on. Living is life in my pockets everyday for over the past year. No issues, breakage, or failures. Add fresh battery and keep on plugging away

I just ordered the sc52wl2, first ZL. Didn't like the looks & size of the newer SC5 and runtimes are pretty much equal.

Although it was a bit slow (really slow) I eventually got on the ZL wagon too....

SC52d for me, unless they decide to release an SC5d, and I might change my mind.

I like my SC52w, especially the tint which is quite nice. Unfortunately it didn't get much carry time and has been sitting on the shelf for the last 6 months. Everyday it is always the HDS HCRI rotary on me and an Eagletac DX30LC2 warm for throw. I wanted to carry the SC52w but just couldn't do it. Should I just sell it off?

They did, but its with a frosted lens, so SC5Fd instead of SC5d OP. I'd prefer it with clear lens and orange peel reflector, too. Actually, I'd rather have an SC5c OP, or a TC5c OP (tail clicky).

I've seen the SC5Fd and thought it very odd that an SC5d OP wasn't produced.

note that the SC5 is NOT 14500 LiIon compatible due to specified voltage range:

Operating Voltage Range: 0.7V - 2.0V

Also note that the SC5, arguably, makes 14500 irrelevant.

That is definitely arguable considering there are factory lights that produce 900+ lumens off a 14500. No lights can do that off an Eneloop that I am aware of. NiMH is also not great for the cold.
