Rechargeable or Non-Rechargeable Torches?
A. The operating costs of non-rechargeable torches are significantly higher and they are usually not as bright. Torches incorporating recoil LED technology may be the exception. The shelf life of alkaline and lithium batteries is excellent with the latter often rated to exceed 10 years. Rechargeable torches have an extremely low operating cost and usually can accommodate more powerful lamps. However, the initial cost is higher and their self discharge rate is greater.
