5 BEST Rechargeable Tactical Flashlights

Our Best Rechargeable Tactical Flashlights

When people call us and explain what they want in a tactical LED flashlight, one feature comes up again and again: they want it to be rechargeable. We think these people have the right idea. Keeping a light charged can be a pain, but you don't want your light going out during some nighttime target practice - or worse, in a situation where you really need it. So we've compiled this list of our five favorite rechargeable tactical flashlights.


5) MecArmy PT18

Everyday Carry Flashlight MecArmy PT18

MecArmy's rugged PT series of lights is one of our best sellers. The PT18, the longest of the everyday carry-sized PTs, is the right size for mounting but still compact enough to fit snugly in your pocket. The fact that it's also rechargeable is just a bonus. This is a sturdy, straightforward light that's also affordably priced.


4) Klarus G20

Best Outdoor Flashlight Klarus G20

If you're looking for the most powerful rechargeable tactical LED flashlight, you may be done reading this list already. The Klarus G20 has a sunrise-like 3,000 lumens, the most of any light on this list. It comes with a special 5,000mAh battery to keep it going at such a high output, and needs a charging system to match. That's why it has a super-fast charging system, compatible with a 2A adapter cord for charging up to 2x as fast as other lights!

To contain this powerful current, Klarus has built in nine safeties, making this also one of the safest charging systems available!


3) Klarus XT11GT

Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight Klarus XT11GT

The workhorse of the Klarus line, it's no wonder that this illumination multi-tool would also carry this highly sought-after feature. The XT11GT's battery indicator on the side switch lets the user know when the light is done charging, as well as giving a rough progress report on the remaining level of charge (in three stages). After only a few hours, you're ready for an eye-blistering 2,000 lumens.


2) MecArmy MOT10

Best Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight MecArmy MOT10

This light from MecArmy came out just this year, and it's a big deal. Because not only is the MOT10 rechargeable, but it's also a power bank. That means when you don't need the battery power for your flashlight, you can repurpose it. Use it to recharge your phone or really any device whose adapter cord has a USB at one end. Mount it to your rifle and utilize its powerful 1000-lumen output, or carry it in your pocket and charge your phone when you're nowhere near an outlet. This is a true rechargeable illlumination tool that can be useful day or night.

1) Klarus XT12GT

The XT12GT, one of Klarus's newest lights, is the first light to use their revamped magnetic charging system. It offers the same advanced waterproof protection, but without the need for Klarus's proprietary bi-directional batteries. It also comes with a special fob, so that any standard USB-to-micro-USB adapter cord is compatible.

It's also possibly the most tactical rechargeable flashlight on this tactical rechargeable light list. Its 1600 lumens stretch to 603 meters, and that fob I mentioned earlier? Also a flashlight.

The XT12GT definitely deserves our top spot as the best rechargeable tactical flashlight.
