USB Rechargeable Head Torches: What to Check Before You Buy

A USB rechargeable head torch avoids routine disposable cells when charging is practical. Confirm the connector and whether the cable is included; USB-C is common but not universal. Then check whether the battery is built in, removable or part of a hybrid system. Petzl ACTIK CORE uses a rechargeable CORE battery and can also take AAA cells; COAST XPH30R uses its rechargeable pack or compatible CR123 cells. Compare runtime at the mode you need and plan power for time away from a socket.
