Spare laser pen batteries: PowerFox 18650 (6800 mAh) and 16340 (1800 mAh) rechargeable batteries and the PowerFox charger. Keep your Pro laser ready to go.
Every Starlight Lasers laser pointer comes with its battery in the box (1 battery and a PowerFox charger with each Pro model), so you can start straight away. A spare laser pen battery is still handy, and you can add one when you order: you can keep one battery charging while the other is in the laser, and you are never caught out halfway through a presentation or a play session with the cat. Here is what fits which laser:
PowerFox charger – the same charger as supplied with every Pro laser; charges one 18650 or 16340 battery at a time.
The pen models (X1, X2, M1 and Z1) use 2 powerful AAA batteries (included); replacements are sold anywhere in the UK. Not sure which model you have? The model name is in your order confirmation.

Charging safely
Li-ion cells are safe and reliable when you treat them well. Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface rather than on a sofa or bed, and do not leave a charger running unattended for hours. Take the cell out once it is full. Never use a battery with a damaged wrapper or one that has been dropped hard, and do not let it come into contact with keys or coins in a pocket. Check the + and – marks when you insert a cell. Recycle old batteries at a battery collection point – most UK supermarkets have one.
Why a spare battery is worth it
For a presenter, a spare means never apologising for a fading dot halfway through a talk. For a cat owner, it means the evening game does not depend on remembering to charge. Charge one cell while the other is in the laser, and swap when the dot starts to look dim.
