Yes i take the battery out to charge in a separate charger which i keep at home but i also carry a spare charged battery.
One of the chargers can be plugged in to one of those portable chargers via usb lead.
I to bought a coupe of the cheaper ones that were being linked on here and found them no where near as effective as the carp life torch on the water im on it clears the tufties and coots in daylight but in bright sunshine isnt quite as effective

I've had 2 from Ebay but you must get the zoomable one the one that doesn't zoom is next to useless, I've had mine now for the best part of 5 years it will shift adult coots at about 20 yards too but the youngsters is another story , it uses those vape type batteries which I remove to charge or 3 aaa,s .At the time it wasn't listed as a tufty torch but cree torch from China

So the tufty torch sold by Carplife. Is just a re badged zoom able torch from the far East with added carp tax. And there was me thinking it was sending out some sort of sonic wave undetectable by humans. But sending bird life a bit doolally..who'd of thought it..
I think the original Merkko one is better, bigger and heavier than the Carplife one though, definitely better than the eBay ones anyway

The ebay ones work brilliantly even in daylight. The beam doesn't reach them like a laser pen. You just shine it towards them. I put in on zoom and flashing clears the lot.

That looks decent tbf anyone got one? I've got a green laser and used to be great day and night but seemed to lose power towards end of last year only working when it's really dark annoyingly.

I bought a convoy l21b red after a recommendation on here. It's a serious price of kit, seems to work on tufties. Moderate success with swans.

I've tried a few from ebay etc but none come close to the Merko, they were ok in very low light conditions but useless in daylight. Mine takes an 18650 battery which lasts for ages.
