Will this flashlight take two CR123a batteries, instead of one 18650? Thanks in advance, Tim

I just tried 2 18350s witch were both about 4v so that would bump it up to 8v. It came on then dimmed out. Prolly has circut protect and won't allow above a certain volt or amp. Not sure witch but I would have to say it probably won't run on CR123a.

If the diameter and length matches, and the voltage equals the same output of a 18650 then yes.

This runs fine on two CR123a batteries. Streamlight batteries on here....12 for $18.99.

It will take the 18650 batteries. It will not take the AAs. You'll find the 18650 in a battery store, I have seen them at some of the large hardware stores. Your best be is to get them on line. The smaller model of this flashlight will take the AAs, but it is not as bright as this one. I use this light on my Mossberg 590 shotgun. it lights up my whole back yard that is about 50' X 60'. The smaller one will not do that.

My nitecore 960 takes 2 cr123a batteries. That should be same as one 18650.Teddy www.actionsbyt.com

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

I'm not sure but it seems that the CR2 batteries are very similar in size and voltage to the cr123 batteries which is stated as acceptable.

I don't have the flashlight so guessing, but it's probably for the 18650 battery as it's narrower than the 3 AAA batteries

takes one CR123A. depending on where you're from, probablt about $7 each. DO NOT try to recharge the battery. rechargeable cr123's are available but cost more and I'm not an expert on voltages etc but u might not get full performance / life on rechargeable (possibly even damage the light) - do your research!

Although this flashlight supports 3 batteries, only 2 are needed. I have a few of these flashlights and only one of them came with the extension tube for a third battery. This is not needed in my opinion unless you want a longer flashlight. There was also no improvement in brightness with the third battery. If you still want to use the third battery, just charge it separately after the other 2 are charged. Enjoy

One of these does work to replace two CR123 batteries IF the device is designed to handle either. For instance I have two Fenix flashlights that both use 2 x CR123 batteries. One is an older model and a 18650 does not fit. One is newer and was designed to work with two CR123 or a single 18650. If your device does not state it can use either type its a tossup - as previous posters noted the diameter and voltage and terminal shapes are different.

It depends- you can use ONE- CR2032 battery or TWO- CR2016 batteries. It works either way.

The CR123's are brighter but you will spend a fair amount of money vs the rechargeable 18650's. One more tip, the 18650's will fit perfectly in one of those survival match tube's. Great for carrying a spare battery. This will be your favorite flashlight.

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

Google a cross reference on batteries and put in the CR123 and it will tell you what other batteries equal it and Good Luck !!

Yes. This flashlight uses both batteries in series and has a very bright light. Great flash light. If you are buying it as a gift buy two and treat yourself too.

Ive used it with one single 18650 and with 3ea AAA NiMH batteries in the holder. But what I'm curious about is will it work using 2ea 18350 batteries loaded?

These batteries are not same as cr123. They are bigger and stronger than cr123's and they will fit inside unique fire uf-2200 flash light.
