Generally rechargeable products will cost slightly more at the first point of purchase, but it will pay itself off in just a few months, sometimes weeks depending on how often you use your lighting product.  ### Flexible, sustainable, powerful Rechargeable products is definitely where the future is going. At LEDLENSER we have designed a fantastic [powerbank range](https://www.blackwoods.com.au/ledlenser/b/558086?q=%3Arecommended%3Abrand%3A558086%3AUNSPSC_Type%3APowerbank&UNSPSC_Type=Powerbank#section2) to coincide with this being a more economical and environmentally friendly choice.  By having powerbanks on hand, it ensures you always have an option to recharge your torch or headlamp at any given time. Some powerbanks also have removeable rechargeable batteries meaning you can swap these out with batteries inside your torch or headlamp if they are the same size. A win/win right there! ### LEDLENSER The sun and Ledlenser share the same goal…bringing light to the world.
