Can this flashlight be powered by 2 x CR123A batteries instead? If so, does it require and adapter and where can I obtain one?

why yes in fact those batteries can power the flashlight but to be honest I would not purchase the flashlight from this provider. you pay for what you get and if you invest a little amount of money into a flashlight you're going to get a crappy product. although the light may seem appealing 1000 lumens For roughly 22 dollars. I've tried to contact the provider dave sent me 1 email as a response to the flashlight they sold me that was damaged. haven't heard back from them.. do us all a favor and buy a good quality flashlight the money is worth it. and keep in mind you pay for what you get. 60 dollar flashlight yes, 22 dollar flashlight no bueno

Yes it can...Amazon sells the two battery set with charger. I bought one and it works great.

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.

I have a lot of different UltraFire flashlights. All are very bright. if the model does not use the 3.7V Lithium battery, the model is designed for three AAA batteries. I never saw a model that uses AA batteries.

There are many of the flashlights here, make sure you pick one that has the charger and 2 batteries. Mine was 12.50 and is awsome, super bright. It said 5 mode but was only 3 mode. The link I clicked for your question says 'batteries not included' . So search for another one that is included.

Amazon has them, Maglite will sell you one, they will even fix yours..., Depending on what year your flashlight is, you may need an adapter. Send MagLite an email...

Yes, the 3.7v batteries will work. They are bigger than the AA and AAA batteries. And more powerful. Some of these LED flashlight have AAA adapter. But yours doesn't. There not recommended anyway.

Haven't tried. Don't have proper adapter. The flashlight, however, is great and worth the money. Very bright light. Charge holds well. East to crank. Lots of light for very little crank time.

No. LED flashlights that advertise as being able to use 18650 and AA use a adapter to bring the AA up to the larger 18650 size.

I purchased a pack of cr2 batteries for this specific flashlight. Works well

If you gave a specific model for the flashlight, I'm sure we could answer this question better. The answer, given the limited information given, is "maybe". There are a couple things to consider. First, CR123s are narrower than 18650. CR123 are 17mm wide (diameter), and 18650s are usually a little over 18mm wide (diameter). So a light that is sized exactly for CR123 will NOT fit 18650. Many lights are sized large enough to accommodate both types, though, so it MIGHT work. The second consideration is voltage. CR123s are 3V, and they maintain that voltage right up until they are almost dead. 4 CR123, then, will deliver 12V for the whole of the battery life (not exactly, but close enough for our purposes.) Two 18650s will deliver only 8.4V, even when fully charged and under light load. If you ask for high current, the voltage will sag even more. And as lithium ion rechargeables are used, the voltage declines. At 50% capacity, they will be down to somewhere between 3.6-3.7 volts each, or 7.2-7.4 volts total. The question is, then, can the driver in the light compensate for the lower voltage of the 18650s, or not? Some lights can, and others can't, but without knowing the exact light you have, there is no way to be sure.

CR123A are what I have in mine. So long as they output 3V and are the same size as the stock batteries, you are good to go. SF123 (Surefire brand) and others will work fine. CR123A will give you a lot of bang for the buck.

depends on your flashlight. does it have an actual bulb or an LED? these batteries are safe for every cr123 LED flashlight that i have ever owned. if your flashlight has a high pressure xenon bulb or similar then you need to check the specs. dont bother with charging voltage, you are looking at discharge voltage. what kind of flashlight do you own?

It is a different battery than what you are use to it is. Longer than a AA and fatter, get the battery and charger when you buy your flashlight .

Can't be. An 18650 is WAY bigger than a CR123A and has 2-3,000 mAh. In a word...unpossible.

Hi, be sure you have the batterys in correct, the negative terminal sets on the springs on the adapter,install the adapter with the arrow pointing to the flashlight. If this does not work the adapter might be defective.I took apart one of the batterys that came with my light and found a small battery, the rest of the space was filled with powder, the battery was probably about 500ma not 4200ma.

Yes, the flashlight requires three triple A (AAA) batteries. They fit into a made for the flashlight nylon holder which is then inserted into the body of the flashlight. A large black arrow is on the battery holder so they won't be inserted in the wrong way.

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
