The included 18650 battery has a USB-C port built into it. You remove the battery, plug a cable into the cell, then put it back in the light.

Does it have a lockout mode?

No. There is no electronic lockout, so store it tail-cap loose or in the holster to avoid accidental activation.

It is designed for the 18650 cell. It also accepts two CR123A cells, but output and runtime differ from the rechargeable setup.
