Does anyone has experience with replaceable battery-powered bicycle lights? For good reasons I don't want to use lights with glued-in lithium ion batteries...

I looked at an online shop, and the only options that I found was the "Cat Eye GVolt25C" and "AXA Niteline 35". They are supposed to be used with (non-rechargeable) alkaline AAA batteries, but I would very much prefer to use rechargeable batteries. Perhaps the light would just be a bit dimmer¹ with NiMH batteries (since they have a lower base voltage)? Usually I use the lowest brightness levels anyway, so perhaps NiMH voltage could suffice?

I could try NiZn batteries (which have a base voltage similar to alkaline batteries), or even AAA li-ion batteries (if this even is a thing), but I have no experience with them.

(1) My main use of the lamps should be to be seen (when I ride my bike that doesn't have a dynamo); I can see pretty well in dark light on the streets.
