Q about C cell replacements for led

Kilili · Jun 30, 2009

I'm looking at a photo of an AElight LifeLight65, and it shows it can be powered by 3 C cells, or what looks like two long-length 3.3v batteries of the same diameter? Can anyone comment on what these are, and the belefits of such?

They're rechargeable LiFePO (Lithium Iron Phosphate) cells - 3.2V nominal, 2800mAh.

Advantages over alkalines cells:

they can maintain higher current draws
they're rechargeable
weight (maybe)
they don't leak
(I'm sure there's some other stuff I'm forgetting)

Why you would choose those particular LiFePOs over NiMH Cs? I don't know.
