A flashlight and charging system includes a flashlight having a body with a rearward end portion and a forward end portion, and a charging/mounting rack with a base, a first contact in the form of a clip adapted to engage the body of the flashlight, and a second contact adapted to face the rearward end portion of the body. The body of the flashlight includes an electrically conductive annular surface on the forward end portion of the body that is connected to a first terminal on the battery pack. It contacts the clip on the charging/mounting rack when the flashlight is held by the rack. The flashlight also includes a switch assembly mounted on the rearward end portion of the body for enabling a user to turn the flashlight on and off in a user selected one of intermittent operation and continuous operation. The switch includes a depressible, electrically conductive button member connected to a second terminal on the battery pack. It contacts the second contact of the charging/mounting rack when the flashlight is held by the rack. One embodiment includes a sectionalized body that enables the user to unscrew one section in order to convert the flashlight to use with a different size battery pack.
