Usually, a flashlight will use either 3 or 6 volts DC, depending on how many batteries it takes.. The fact that it's a battery defines that it will be Direct Current (DC). Each battery is 1.5 nominal voltage, so:

If a flashlight holds 2 batteries, it is (1.5 volts) x 2 = 3.0 volts.

If a flashlight holds 4 batteries, then it is (1.5 v) (4) = 6 v.

Now, I'm not sure on a 4-battery flashlight, if they are circuited separately somehow (I imagine they are, cause I've never had to decide between 3 or 6 volts when buying replacement lamps).
