Your 18650 cell, explained
Use the right cell, charge it in the Critter and store it sensibly, and it will look after you for years. The official replacement is the same cell that ships in every Critter BT.
The Critter is built around one exact cell. A different size or type can stop it working, or damage the electronics for good.
The same 2500 mAh cell that ships in every Critter BT, ready to swap in seconds. Up to 7 hours of run time, about 2 on full white.
US addresses only. Shipping rules stop us sending spare cells abroad or by overnight service. Outside the US, buy one locally to this spec.
Get any of these wrong and the cell may not fit, or may damage the light. Check them before you buy.
