That's my objection to them. Olight is interesting here in that they offer a lifetime warranty for flashlights purchased in in United States of America, Australia, China, France, or Germany in 2023 or later which explicitly covers built-in batteries. That's surprising given that Li-ion batteries are guaranteed to wear out, but it's pretty unambiguous.

We always miss out on those kinds of warranty in the UK, so best to buy one with replacable batts.

Someone could build a light this shape using two 10880 cells in parallel. Someone should.
