Petzl CORE USB-C Rechargeable Battery

Petzl CORE USB-C Rechargeable Battery

A direct-charging lithium-ion battery that upgrades compatible Petzl Hybrid Concept headlamps from standard AAA batteries to a convenient, rechargeable setup. The CORE charges directly via USB-C without removing it from the headlamp on most compatible models and delivers excellent performance even in cold temperatures.

Why We Carry It
It's the upgrade we recommend to anyone who buys a compatible Petzl headlamp and wants to stop buying disposable batteries for a piece of gear they use regularly.

Highlights

• 1,250 mAh lithium-ion battery with integrated USB-C charging — Charges directly via USB-C without a separate charging cradle or cable adapter. Red indicator shows charging in progress, green confirms a full charge. Simple and intuitive.
• Equivalent to 900 standard batteries over its lifespan — A meaningful environmental and economic advantage over continuing to buy AAA batteries for a headlamp used frequently. Pays for itself quickly for regular users.
• Performs well at low temperatures — Lithium-ion chemistry maintains output in cold conditions where standard alkaline batteries lose capacity significantly. A practical advantage for winter camping, skiing, and cold weather climbing.
• IPX4 weather resistance — Handles rain and splashes without failing. Built for outdoor use in the same conditions as the headlamps it powers.
• 3.5-hour charging time — A reasonable recharge cycle for a battery used regularly. Top off during the day via any USB-C source and it's ready for the evening.
• 2-year warranty or 300 charging cycles — A guaranteed service life backed by Petzl's standard warranty for a battery that sees regular use.
• 23-gram weight — Slightly lighter than three AAA batteries with significantly more consistent output over the charge cycle.

Best for

Regular users of compatible Petzl Hybrid Concept headlamps who want to eliminate disposable battery waste and reduce long-term costs with a direct-charging lithium-ion solution. A practical upgrade for anyone who uses their headlamp frequently enough to justify moving away from standard batteries.
