Which brand/type of 17670 rechargeable battery would be best to use for the Gladius? Also, how will the run-time or output be affected?

I use AW protected 17670 in mine. Not sure about the runtime as I am still on the first charge. The output is the same as primaries but it will blink twice every ten seconds.

AW's 17650's will fit but only just, I keep some PILA 168S's that I removed the outer wrapper on for my Gladius.

I have the Gladius and also run it on rechargables....it should only blink if you are holding the switch down in the "constant on" position for more than ten seconds, unless the batteries are low. If this is what you are doing, then you are actually changing the ramp setting in this position. If you read the instructions they should clarify the precedure...

Oh and by this way I love this light.....one of my edc's
