Can you use rechargeable cr123's with this light

Absolutely, but expect a much shortened battery life due to the power requirements of this flashlight.

If you use rechargable CR123A batteries you absolutely have to make sure they are the 3 volt ones and not the 3.7 because the higher voltage adds up and can destroy the light. So only use 3 volt batteries. This light is an awesome light and great for a lot of applications with low and high mode.

Most rechargeable have a voltage of 3.7 to 4.2 volts, unlike the regular lithium batteries that are 3 volts. So potentially, you can burn up the flashlight as 12.6 volts is a lot higher than the 9 volts that the light was designed for. Not recommended...

No, you can use either a lithium rechargeable 18650 battery or the old-skool 2 cr123a's. the single battery is a superior and cost effective option. It has a killer runtime and 12.4 watt hours capacity-about the same as four rechargeable AA's. CR123 is a thing of the past with the awesome new lithiums.

Mike, Yes it will work with rechargeable batteries as long as they are 123A 3V, but more importantly make sure it's compatible with your flashlight.The LED conversion head Upgrades SureFire incandescent flashlights originally equipped with P60, P61, P90, or P91 lamps

CR123. I wouldn't recommend this product! It's not worth the money. It doesn't put out the lumens they claim in fact not even close.

I would only use CR123A batteries made by Surefire. That light is designed for those batteries. However, now I buy Sunwayman lights. They are more versatile, built well and use rechargeable batteries.

No, the included batteries CR123A are not rechargeable. This flashlight can be used with one 18650 Lithium-ion rechargeable battery.

The batteries are CR123 you can buy disposable or re chargable but the flashlight does not let you charge through the light so u wod have to get a wall charger

No you don't need rechargeable batteries. There is a built in battery inside that is rechargeable by solar. Great light tho.

Don't see why not, haven't tried before as CR123 lithium last sufficiently long in 5mw laser, and are pretty cheap. My experience with recharges are they have less voltage then trier lithium counterparts. Should not be a problem using recharges though.

Yes you can. I bought two of these lighting systems and both are being run with rechargeable batteries. It doesn't have any special battery size, just uses 3 AA batteries.

Yes I use a Nuon 18650 2600 mAh and 3.6V it works great. Two of the cr123 work great also just make sure to use the included plastic sleeve to keep them from rattling. The light itself works great I've used some surefires and 5.11's and I prefer the O-light

I wouldn't recommend it, although I've heard some say yes, but I personally will just use surefire cr123.

It uses the 18650 3.7V. I may accommodate two CR123's if I recall correctly. Hope this helps.

These batteries are incompatible with any flashlights except LED flashlights. Flashlights with xenon, or other incandescent bulbs are designed for 3 Volt batteries, but the rechargeable RCR123A are 3.2 to 3.5 volts. The higher voltage of these batteries will quickly burn out the bulb if it is an incandescent bulb flashlight.

Mine requires a CR123A battery, I don't know if rechargeable ones are available but at one a year or so I would go online and order 3 or 4 and you will be good for a long time.

Not sure about damage, but my flashlight (FENIX) worked with those, but company recommended TENERGY 18650 rechargeable. One 18650 same size as two CR123s. TENERGYs hold charge longer. Should work for you, John, but email to your LEGACY company should confirm it for you.

It does use the CR123 Batteries and does a great job. doesn't use an orange peel reflector though. great light for the price for sure.
