Technical Parameters
Note: According to the ANSI/PLATO FL1 standard, the above specifications
are from the results produced by Fenix through its laboratory testing using a
Fenix ARB-L16-700P rechargeable 16340 Li-ion power 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/High output is measured in a total of runtime including output at reduced levels due to temperature or protection mechanism in the design.

Caution*

-
16340 Li-ion batteries are powerful cells designed for commercial applications and must be treated with caution and handled with care. Only using quality batteries with circuit protection will reduce the potential for combustion or explosion, but 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- Switch off the light and loosen the light head 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
- The normal charging time of the included Fenix ARB-L16-700P is approximately 2 hours from depletion to full charging.
- Recharge a stored light every four months to maintain the optimum performance of the battery.
- The Eco output is available while charging (press and hold the functional switch for 0.5 seconds), but the charging time will be prolonged.
Battery Level Indication
- Each time the light is turned on, the indicator will indicate the battery level and will last for 3 seconds.
- The 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 Fenix ARB-L16-700P 16340 rechargeable Li-ion
battery.
Intelligent Overheat Protection
The light will accumulate a lot of heat when used at relatively high modes for
extended periods. When the light reaches a temperature of 60°C or above, the
light will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature.
When the temperature drops below 60°C, it will then allow the user to reselect
the modes.
Low-voltage Warning
When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the flashlight is
programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Low output is
reached. When this happens in Eco output mode, the battery level indicator
blinks red to remind you to timely recharge or replace the battery.
Note: This only works with Fenix ARB-L16-700P 16340 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 for the following reasons:
- A: Poor battery level.
- Solution: Recharge or replace the battery.
- B: The contact or contact point of the battery or flashlight is dirty.
- Solution: Clean the contact points with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol.
If the above methods don’t work, please contact your authorized distributor.
