- Versatility: Compatible with various lightweight models from Fenix.

Disadvantages
Although AAA batteries are inexpensive, they have limitations when used in Fenix flashlights:
- Limited capacity: They do not last as long as more powerful batteries such as the 18650 or CR123A, which means they need to be replaced more often.
- Lower power: AAA batteries deliver less power, which can limit the light intensity and functionality of powerful flashlights.
- Frequent replacement: Changing batteries more often can be inconvenient and is less environmentally friendly.
These disadvantages make AAA batteries less suitable for intensive use where high light output and long-lasting performance are required.
