I have had this flashlight for about 2 years and have always used rechargeable CR123A batteries with no problems. This is a great light. I ended up buying 4 of these over the past two years for family and friends.

Yes, one of these will replace two CR123A batteries, either the rechargeable or the non recharable types, just make sure your device has a protruding tip for both positive and negative sides of the battery since the connection terminals on the NCR18650B version batteries are flush with the body, they are not button top and if you dont have a spring type contact at both sides they will not make contact.

The following types of batteries cannot be used:Lithium battery pack (CR-V3)/AA (R6) manganese (zinccarbon)batteries/AA (R6) oxyride batteries/AA (R6) lithiumbatteries, as stated on page 66 of the owners manual.

No, for 2 reasons: the CR123a are too big around to fit in the battery compartment and 2 CR123a together are too much voltage for the LED. You can fit 2 of the CR2's, but they are also too much voltage for the LED. I use AA rechargeables and 14500 batteries and they work fine. I hope this helps and have a good day.

No batteries come with this light. Cr123 can be bought at a lot of stores. 18650 are rechargables, will need charger.

While it does not advertise it, rechargeable batteries (R123A's) are okay to use in this. They won't last as long as a traditional CR123 but you'll be able to re-use it instead of throwing it out.

I use regular replaceable batteries and it has a little button you push to check them. But I don't see why you cant use rechargeable.

it will take reg batteries but they are eaten up fast I use Duracell CR-V3, they work the best. I haven't used any rechargables

No it will not charge cr123... Don't waste ur $$$$ on those batteries. The best bet is buy the 18650 rechargeable. It can be very expensive if u only use cr123... The flashlight is awesome tho. Best small light I ever bought

Hi, It can not charge the CR123A battery since it's a 3.0V battery. The universal charger only works with 3.6/3.7 & 7.2/7.4V li-ion battery and Ni-MH battery. Kind regards, Terry 877-268-1235 x304

No in the PC20 You really can really only use CR123 or RCR123 batteries. The diameter of the 18650 is too big.

The batteries last surprisingly long, many hours of use. Yes you can use rechargeable batteries but you'd have to remove them to charge them.

Don't do it! The excess voltage would surely burn something out. (If they even fit.) There are numerous suitable "double A" batteries that will work, including many rechargeable ones.

You can use rechargeable batteries, BUT ONLY if they are ALKALINE Batteries. This is what I was told, so best to do what they say. Good Luck!!!!!

Negative, this light uses the equivalent of 3 AA's - plus with this bright of an output, AA's would go dead in about 2hrs. The 4000mAh rechargeable batteries will save you money versus disposable CR123's. I use my light extensively everyday, and switch out the battery daily - this has worked great for several weeks.

Item comes with one CR123A battery which is not rechargeable. I use surefire batteries and they are roughly $23/dozen.

I have both batteries to use in this torchlight. Cr123a making a little problem on sizing. All these rechargable batteries are made in china. Thus, having size problems from brand to brand. To me, 18650 fits better and lifetime is longer.Hope can helpThanks
