CR-123 Battery Carrier for TAC Lights

The 500-CARRIER holds two CR-123 lithium cells and replaces the standard rechargeable pack in Nightstick TAC-400, 410XL, 450, 460XL, 500, 510XL, 540XL, 550 and 560XL LED lights. It is built for users who need a dependable backup power source when rechargeable cells are depleted.

Thermals, noise and power draw

The carrier itself has no electronics, so it adds no heat, no fan noise and no power draw beyond the batteries installed inside. Performance and run-time depend entirely on the CR-123 cells you supply.

Replaces the rechargeable pack when charging is

Swapping to the carrier keeps the light running in the field without waiting for a recharge. The jump is worth it for extended shifts, remote work or emergency kits where mains power is unavailable. It does not suit users who prefer the convenience of built-in USB recharging.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 500-CARRIER in my TAC-550 light and what step is often missed?

Open the tail cap, remove the rechargeable cell, insert two CR-123 batteries with the positive ends facing the head, then tighten the cap until the O-ring seats fully.

What maintenance will the 500-CARRIER need over time?

Inspect the carrier body and tail-cap threads for corrosion after each battery change, wipe the contacts clean, and replace the O-ring if it shows cracking or flattening.

What limit appears first during extended use with CR-123 cells in the 500-CARRIER?

Non-rechargeable CR-123 batteries deplete faster than the standard rechargeable pack, so runtime per set is the first constraint you will hit.
