The Dark Sheath-tailed Bat is crepuscular and roosts under large leaves and fronds of palms, bananas, and ginger; in limestone cave entrances; and under rock overhangs and house roofs. Leaf roosts can be as low as 1 -5 m aboveground. Dark Sheath-tailed Bats emerge in late afternoon twilight to forage in well-shaded forest understories.

When roosting in foliage, as is common, group size is regularly 2-6 individuals, with only one individual clinging to the leaf surface by its feet and thumbs and the others adpressed dorsum to venter in a stacked column. These small groups are composed of mixed sex adults and young. Four individuals roosted in such a manner under a fishtail palm (
