Note: according to the ANSI/PLATO FL1 standard, the above specifications are from the results produced by Fenix through its laboratory testing using the included Fenix ARB-L21-5000 V2.0 battery under the temperature of 21±3°C and humidity of 50%-80%; the true performance of this product may vary according to different working environments and the actual battery used. *The Turbo output is measured in total of runtime including output at reduced levels due to temperature or the protection mechanism in the design.

Battery Specifications

  • Fenix ARB-L21-5000 V2.0 (21700, 3.6V): Recommended.
  • Fenix ARB-L21-5000U (21700, 3.6V): Recommended.
  • Fenix ARB-L21-4000P (21700, 3.6V): Recommended.

It is prohibited to use 18650, 16340, or CR123A batteries. 21700 Li-ion batteries are powerful cells designed for commercial applications and must be treated with caution and handled with care. Only use quality batteries with circuit protection to reduce the potential for combustion or explosion; cell damage or short circuiting are potential risks the user assumes.

Battery Replacement: unscrew the light tail and insert the battery with the anode side (+) towards the light head, then screw the light tail back on.

Charging

  • Loosen the light head counterclockwise to reveal the USB Type-C charging port and plug the USB-A socket of the charging cable into an electrical outlet, then connect the USB Type-C socket of the charging cable to the light.
  • The indicator will display red while charging and will turn green when fully charged.
  • Once charging is completed, be sure to tighten the light head to maintain the dustproof and waterproof ability.

Note: when charging fails or the battery is reversely connected, the battery indicator will flash red to remind the user to check the battery. The normal charging time of the included Fenix ARB-L21-5000 V2.0 battery is approximately 3.5 hours from depletion to full charging. Recharge a stored light every four months to maintain the optimum performance of the battery. The light is unavailable while charging.

Battery Level Indication

  • Each time the light is turned on, the indicator (unscrew the light head to see) will indicate the battery level and will last for 3 seconds.
  • Green light on: saturated, 100% - 85%.
  • Green light flashes: sufficient, 85% - 50%.
  • Red light on: poor, 50% - 25%.
  • Red light flashes: critical, 25% - 1%.

Note: this only works with a Fenix ARB-L21 series 21700 rechargeable Li-ion battery.

Low-Voltage Warning

When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the flashlight is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Eco output is reached. When this happens in Eco output mode, the light blinks 3 times every 5 minutes to remind you to timely recharge or replace the battery. This only works with a Fenix ARB-L21 series 21700 rechargeable Li-ion battery.

Usage and Maintenance

  • Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.
  • Fenix recommends using only a high-quality protected battery.
  • If the light will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery for proper storage.
  • Unscrew the tail cap or remove the battery to prevent accidental activation during storage or transportation.
  • Long-term use can result in O-ring wear; to maintain a proper water seal, replace the ring with an approved spare.
  • Periodic cleaning of the battery contacts improves the light's performance, as dirty contacts may cause the light to flicker, shine intermittently, or even fail to illuminate — check for a poor battery level or dirty contacts, and contact your authorized distributor if cleaning doesn't resolve it.
