FAQ · Power
Is USB-C rechargeable better than AA lights?
USB-C rechargeables are more convenient and cheaper to run day to day — top up from any phone charger, no loose cells. AA lights win when you want to buy power anywhere in the world and store gear for years without maintenance. Many people carry a rechargeable daily and keep an AA light in a bag or car for resilience.
