I love this review, the car charger is great especially for police officers and being able to charge while on patrol, we use these streamlight the most very dependable and great quality, great vid👍🏻
I believe that one is a Ni-MH battery. Unfortunately Streamlight uses a proprietary cell. Also, they didn't put protection circuitry in it if it requires a cap.
Question - is this safe to keep the spare battery in the charger at all times? Especially in a vehicle. I know the flashlight itself is ok to always leave in the charger as it’s designed for that … but the instructions only mention cold weather ( under 10 degrees F) but my concern was this spare battery on the piggyback charger exposed to heat in the summer time. Is it safe to leave in the charger as well even when fully charged and your vehicle is parked on a 80+’degree sunny day? Again the instructions say nothing about hear hazard with the spare battery
We have these at my side job and they are always on the charger, all day everyday even one in both our squad cars and they have been like that for at least 4 years and they are still holding a charge and working fine. Hope that helps!
Both are good choices. Get the Strion if you prefer a more compact light. Personally I prefer the Streamlight Stinger Classic LED (the one rated for 500 lumens).
