There are several that take a CR123 size battery. It's a little bit bigger in diameter than a AA, but not as long as a C.
There are also a whole crop of flashlights that take a 18650 size, which I understand is the same battery used in a vaping contraption? Like 3.7 volts, so equivalent to three rechargeable AAA.
If you were just funnin', then so was I, and disregard all the important vital information above.
Are these batteries readily available in the cottonwood area?
