Can You Charge the Javelot Pro 2 Battery Without the Torch?

Posted by Prashanta Kumar Jena on


If you own the Olight Javelot Pro or Javelot Pro 2, you’ve likely wondered:
Can you charge the battery without attaching it to the torch?

This is a common question among hunters, tactical users, and professionals who rely on their Javelot Pro for long night sessions and want to keep spare batteries charged and ready.

In short, no — the Javelot Pro battery cannot be charged outside of the torch, unless you're using a compatible charging dock or DIY solution, which is not recommended by Olight.


🔍 Why Can’t You Charge the Javelot Pro Battery Separately?

The Javelot Pro uses a custom dual 21700 battery pack housed inside the torch. This custom battery:

  • Includes proprietary contact points only accessible when the battery is inside the flashlight

  • Is designed to be charged using Olight's MCC (Magnetic Charging Cable), which connects to the tailcap of the torch

Olight’s charging system is integrated into the torch, which means:

  • You must insert the battery into the flashlight

  • Then connect the MCC cable to charge it

🧠 Pro Tip: Always use the official Olight MCC charging cable to prevent damage or overheating.


🔌 Are There Any Workarounds?

Some advanced users may attempt:

  • DIY charging via battery terminals

  • Third-party chargers

⚠️ Warning: These methods void warranty, pose a fire risk, and can damage the battery or torch. Olight does not support this.

If you're looking to keep multiple batteries charged:

  • The better solution is to own multiple Javelot Pro torches or explore Olight battery-compatible devices that support charging in-torch.


✅ Safe Charging Tips for Javelot Pro Batteries

  1. Always charge the battery inside the torch

  2. Use the included magnetic charging cable

  3. Avoid leaving the battery at 0% for long periods

  4. Store spare batteries in a cool, dry place

  5. Consider keeping a spare torch for backup power


🛠️ What If My Battery Won’t Charge?

If your battery doesn’t charge when the MCC cable is connected:

  • Check the tailcap for dust or debris

  • Ensure the MCC cable light turns red (charging) then green (charged)

  • Try a different power adapter (5V/2A)

  • If it still fails, contact Olight support or your local authorized dealer


🏷️ Final Thoughts

To sum it up:
You cannot charge the Javelot Pro battery without the torch.
✅ You must use the included magnetic charger with the battery inside the flashlight.

For safety, performance, and longevity, always follow Olight’s official charging recommendations.
