Nitecore EC20 LED Flashlight
Compact and Capable
The Nitecore EC20 LED Flashlight is a powerful and highly portable LED flashlight that is perfect for every-day-carry. Measuring in at 5" long and weighing less than 3 ounces, the EC20 is a pleasure to hold. Constructed from aero-grade aluminum alloy with a military grade hard-anodized finish, the durable EC20 will stand up to most impacts and the wear and tear of frequent use. The EC20 is IPX-8 waterproof, meaning that it can be submersed under water up to 2 meters with no problem. The next time it rains while you're out or you accidentally drop the light in a puddle, no need to worry.
Lighting Technology
The EC20 is equipped with the latest CREE XM-L2 (T6) LED, which can produce an extremely bright 960 Lumens of illumination while on its highest output. In addition to its highest output, the EC20 features three dimmer brightness levels, as well as a trio of special tactical outputs including a Strobe function, a S.O.S. Mode, and a Location Beacon, all of which are accessible using the light's intuitive side switch. The light is equipped with a high-efficiency regulation circuit that will provide constant output and prevent any possible dimming. A memory function allows you to return to the most recent output before you turned it off, so there are no surprises, while out in the field.
Power
The EC20 is capable of running on either a pair of CR123A batteries or a single 18650 battery. Maintaining battery life is a breeze, as the EC20 features an integrated power indicator in the side switch that will flash in different patterns to indicate remaining charge. When power levels reach 50%, side switch will flash once every two seconds. When power levels are low, the side switch will blink quicker. Each time the batteries are inserted, the side switch will blink to indicate battery voltage. Reverse polarity protection ensures safety against improperly inserting batteries in the EC20.

Battery Junction is the only source i could find for this model that has been discontinued by Nitecore. Battery Junction was the only place I could but the EC20 and an NO 1823 battery which was the Nitecore original battery for the EC20.
I have purchased multiple batteries through their Web site..
