This warning appears on the LED Lenser website:
"Can I use rechargeable batteries in my LED LENSER flashlight or headlamp?
Currently LED LENSER'S standard lights and headlamps are optimized for use with disposable batteries and the components can be damaged by the use of anything other than the recommended battery type. Similarly, each LED LENSER rechargeable flashlight and headlamp requires a specific battery to operate and should only be recharged directly through their recharging system."
It's difficult to see any justification for it (unless it's to protect sales of their rechargeable flashlights) - can anyone throw any light on it? Is there any logic to it (I've been using rechargeables for a couple of years now without any apparent ill effect) or is it just an empty warning.
Just bought a nice new LED9414 P14.2 Pro and very keen not to wreck it!
