Great light with one big disappointment |

I've regretted buying the proprietary batteries this flashlight requires in the past. The use case I bought them for is no longer valid and now I'm stuck with a bunch of batterie$$ that I can't use in other platforms.
This flashlight gave reason to that purchase but I was shocked to find the lack of a PD chip to allow intelligent charging. By leaving off this 50 cent part I now have to use a USBA-USBC cable instead of USBC-USBC like every other device uses.
Now I have to carry and keep up with a different, albeit not proprietary, cable just to charge this one flashlight.
Really?
I have a $15 foaming soap dispenser that supports USBC PD charging, but this $130 flashlight forces us to use a USB-A connector that was depreciated almost six years ago?
I'm now on the fence on whether I should return the flashlight, give away the batteries, and just wash my hands of the NITECORE brand or bite the bullet and just use an external charger...
so close.... sigh..
