I have a few of these and they are super bright. Never failed and are not very expensive.
Amazon.com: 3 Watt Cree LED 3 AA Tactical Flashlight 180 Lumen Long Throwing Tight Spot yet wide moon light Torch, 7224bk: Home Improvement
Highly recommend.

Streamlight makes rechargeable flashlights with AC or DC chargers. My favorite is the Strion series.

Good point. The batteries in my Stinger seem to be pretty bulletproof.

You might look at the Pelican SaberLite 2000 Submersible or some other model in the Pelican line. They are NOT tacticool, but they are indestructible. I keep one in the door of my truck year round and never had any problems. Warranty is outstanding. If you should happen to break something they send you the new part postage paid. I own three and wouldn't trade them. The 2000 is not light weight, but if you do have to hit something with it they are going to the ER and the light will still work. LOL Just my $0.02.
Just bite the price bullet and get a Surefire LED and a box of a dozen 123s(less than $2 each) and enjoy.
I have at least a dozen of their lights, weapons lights, incandescents and LEDs.
Rock solid, waterproof, lifetime no-question warranty.
Starts at under $100 for a lifetime of light.
Their reflectors give the best, most even distribution of light of anything I've handled or owned.
Only trouble I've ever had was on about the twentieth drop onto solid concrete my little L4 Lumamax quit shining.
Sent it in and they sent me a new one a week later.
You get what you pay for.

ive replaced all my surefire lights with protected circuit rechargeable batteries.
Surefire G2 led. The 123's havent blowed up on me yet. The light even fits 1" scope rings and most flashlight mounts. The plastic sure comes in handy when you have to hold it with your teeth. Ive dropped mine in a 4' swimming pool for the kids to play with. Ive had up to 6 of these lights around the house and mounted on rifles. Painted them. dropped them. Gave them as presents. Made a pressure switch for one out of a Tasco lazer switch from chinamart. The cap on the switch(the part that screws into the lazer body) fits in the end cap of the surefire. With a part removed from the surefire end cap. You slide the pressu7re pad through a tiny hole made in the end button, replace the spring back in the end camp. The button seals dirt tight on the cord. Works like a charm.

i highly recommend aw 17670 batteries for your g2. been running these types of batteries for atleast 5 years now specifically on lights i require to function at full capacity all the time.
Thats what I need. $9 for two of 123's is killing me

yep, i paid once and havent had to pay again. i bought two of each so id have one spare when the other went out. also, check out candlepowerforums. great resource, also where i picked up an led modified gi crookneck flashlight. its one of my favorites.
Every battery-powered flashlight I ever bought never survived a Texas summer.
Upon further reflection, those flashlights never had the batteries checked, until the flashlight was needed.
Change batteries at least every three months, if you want them to work for you.
Be well.

Second this. These are just as good or better than sure fires in my opinion. I started with sure fire G2, e2d, and backup before I found Fenix. Now it is all I buy.
