[0003] When installing batteries in the battery pack of the above structure, it is necessary to first separate the two outer shells, then install the batteries into one outer shell, and finally snap the two outer shells together. Batteries are consumables, and the amount of power stored in the batteries will gradually decrease after long-term use. At this time, the batteries in the outer shells need to be replaced. Because the two outer shells are fixed to each other by snapping, when opening the outer shells, it is necessary to squeeze one outer shell hard to release the snapping with the other outer shell. Only then can the two outer shells be separated to replace the batteries inside, which makes it more laborious to replace the batteries in the outer shells. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims at the disadvantage that the two shells in the prior art are fixed to each other by snapping together. Therefore, when opening the shells, one shell needs to be squeezed hard to release the snapping with the other shell. Only then can the two shells be separated to replace the batteries inside them, which leads to the disadvantage that it is more laborious to replace the batteries in the shells. The utility model provides a battery pack with USB for flashlights, which is convenient and labor-saving to replace the internal batteries.
