    Sniper Hoglight question

    I purchased a Sniper hog light for my bow and I did not spend the extra $60 or so for a battery and charger. Can this light run on regular batteries and if so whit life should I expect?

    I think mine came with an adapter for AAA batteries but I've never tried it.

      I'm not certain, but I'd definitely purchase a charger. IMO it's worth the money. They have high quality batteries and their battery life is second to none in my experience with hog lights

          X2 on the batteries and charger. Mine came with a AAA adapter, that was a long time ago and they were crap compared to the rechargeable batteries.

              I have EWT lights; different, but they are similar in concept, here is what I have learned:

              A 18650 battery will power one of the lights for a pretty darn long time.

              I charge all my batteries before I head to the lease, I have only ever had one die on me when we were out varmint hunting all night, and I was using it as a searchlight.

              They don't last nearly as long with a AAA battery module.

                  I love those lights! You can buy the chargers and batteries on Amazon as well. And you can get larger capacity (up to 5000mAh) batteries than the ones they sell. Nothing against their chargers or batteries, as those are the ones I have myself. I'm just saying there's nothing particularly magical about buying the chargers and batteries through them versus buying them elsewhere.

                  Edit: But read reviews and go with a name brand. There's some junk out there.

                    Yes you need a 18650 to run the light. If you would have bought the 2 batteries and charger with the light it would have cost you $25.00 not $60.00. If you contact me through a PM, Email or by phone(number listed on website), I will sell you 2 18650 batteries and charger for $25.00 + shipping and Tax if you live in Texas.

                    Our old Mini-Sniper lights could use AAA batteries or a 18650 battery. We went away from AAA batteries because they could not run the light at full power for more then a couple of minutes and the 18650 battery can run it at full power for over 3.5 hours.

                    There are many junk 18650 batteries on the market that list over 3400ma but they don't even come close to 3400ma. Every battery we have ever tested that listed over 3400ma was actually somewhere between 1600-2400ma. We use the best 18650 protected batteries on the market made by Panasonic. They are also the highest capacity 18650 battery made at 3400ma. There is no such thing as a 18650 battery that has a capacity over 3400ma. If you see one that list a higher # then 3400ma then it's a lie. When you buy 2 batteries from us with a light we only charge $17.00 and you wont find 2 18650 3400ma panasonic protected batteries for less anywhere.

                      Get the battery and charger from Rob. Great guy to work with and stand up guy at that. Got mine from him and no problems. Light is pretty darn great too!

                        Good to know. Thanks! I've bought seven lights from Sniper Hog Lights so far, between rifle, bow and flashlights for myself and others. They are all GREAT! However, you discontinued my very favorite, the Mini-Sniper. I have two Destroyers but still prefer the handy size of the Mini. Thank you for making a great product!

                          Have you seen our 30LR as it's about the same size and with our White 800 lumen LED it will blow away the Mini-Sniper in white. Top light in pic is the 30LR and bottom light is the Mini-Sniper. The 30LR is my go to tracking and all around flashlight. Thank you for all your support.

                            I didn't realize the 30LR was that small. I don't have a 30LR, but I do have a 66LR with the LED. I didn't get the white, though, I got the red and green LEDs. Based on how bright the red and green are, I can only imagine how bright the white must be! I also have the windage and elevation adjustment mount, which is awesome. So many toys, so little time!
