The Fenix HM65R comes with a high capacity 3500mAh 18650 cell, and there is a built in USB-C charging port. The ONLY thing you need is a USB charger of some kind to open the door to this powerful and capable light.<br \/>\nJoin me in this review of the Fenix HM65R to take a look at all the details and how it performs.<\/p>\n<p><b>What is in the box?:<\/b><br \/>\nFor maximum stability the HM65R has a top strap, and the full head strap comes assembled and neatly tucked away in the packaging.<br \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-9382 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-9382 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foobox fg-center fg-default fg-ready fg-dark fg-border-thin fg-round-medium fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-caption-hover fg-hover-fade fg-hover-zoom\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-9382\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:true,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;src&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;srcset&quot;}\" style=\"--fg-title-line-clamp: 0; --fg-description-line-clamp: 0;\" >\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/01-Fenix-HM65R-boxed-P1380219.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"9383\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2020\/05\/01-Fenix-HM65R-boxed-P1380219\/3421930555.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/02-Fenix-HM65R-box-contents-P1380225.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"9384\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2020\/05\/02-Fenix-HM65R-box-contents-P1380225\/2235211849.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/03-Fenix-HM65R-box-strap-P1380227.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"9385\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2020\/05\/03-Fenix-HM65R-box-strap-P1380227\/3692391952.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/04-Fenix-HM65R-full-strap-P1380231.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"9386\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2020\/05\/04-Fenix-HM65R-full-strap-P1380231\/4218313881.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/05-Fenix-HM65R-box-contents-P1380239.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"9387\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2020\/05\/05-Fenix-HM65R-box-contents-P1380239\/3208148769.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p><b>A good look round the HM65R &#8211; Things to look out for here are:<\/b><br \/>\nI&#8217;m splitting this detailed set of photos into two galleries for a more manageable tour of the HM65R. The HM65R is almost ready to go out of the packaging, but first you need to remove a small insulator that keeps the battery from running down or the HM65R from being turned on accidentally. From the appearance of the threads of the battery tube, you can see that this is made of magnesium, a material chosen by Fenix to shave off a few more grams of weight.<br \/>\n<style

Then, in using the high capacity 18650, you get a great runtime and powerful output (yet without too much weight), and the built in USB-C charging means you actually don&#8217;t need anything else &#8211; The HM65R is a complete kit.<\/p>\n<p>There is one thing missing for me though, and that is a very low output. Even 9 lm, and even with this being on the flood beam, it is still too bright for dark adapted eyes. Frequently when I&#8217;m using headlamps, I will have dark adapted eyes (waking from sleep, or when I don&#8217;t want to disturb others); if only Fenix could squeeze in that lower mode, a sub 1 lm mode for both spot and flood output, it would make the HM65R a fantastic all-rounder.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to go full blast, then your wish is the HM65R&#8217;s command &#8211; perfect visibility.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/30-Fenix-HM65R-outdoor-beam-wood-IMG_20191207_164435.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/30-Fenix-HM65R-outdoor-beam-wood-IMG_20191207_164435.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/30-Fenix-HM65R-outdoor-beam-wood-IMG_20191207_164435-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/30-Fenix-HM65R-outdoor-beam-wood-IMG_20191207_164435-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/30-Fenix-HM65R-outdoor-beam-wood-IMG_20191207_164435-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/30-Fenix-HM65R-outdoor-beam-wood-IMG_20191207_164435-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/30-Fenix-HM65R-outdoor-beam-wood-IMG_20191207_164435-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/30-Fenix-HM65R-outdoor-beam-wood-IMG_20191207_164435-365x365.jpg 365w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/30-Fenix-HM65R-outdoor-beam-wood-IMG_20191207_164435-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p>It is very helpful having the quick charge level gauge, with just a click letting you see if you will want to top up the battery.<\/p>\n<p>Having used many Fenix headlamps over the years, and many competitors headlamps too, the HM65R definitely goes down as a choice for Pro users.
