Why makes these batteries incompatible with SureFire Flashlights? Please explain?

Hi ,I'm not the owner of SureFire Flashlight so i can't tell you why . I used them with OLIGHT flashlight and works fine .

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure it was ok for my Surefire LED lights. Thanks again!

I own a surefire pt2l flashlight and a streamlight nightcom light. I havebeen using the tenergy lifepo4 3v batteries for 2-3 years without a hitch.

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.

I never used the SureFire Flashlights batteries. My use was for my Home Security system which used this size and I felt with some many units, it was better and cost effective to buy rechargeable batteries rather then other regular batteries. Since I did not research batteries, but went on a friends referral, I chose these.

Really can't answer that question sorry. I would guess if they're the same power output and they fit in the light they shouldn't hurt the flashlight circuit

No, I bought a set of rechargeable batteries for mine and it ruined the batteries the guy at batteries pluss advised me you cannot use rechargeable batteries for these flashlights and it ruines the batteries!

That I a very hard question to answer, I have found that this batteries only work in certain items, I use flashlights with these batteries and I can say they don't work with vector arms flash lights they also don't work with sure fire nor do they work with ncstarThey will work with:LeapersNeboBut unfortunately these companies don't have anything in common for bulbs, some are led. Credd ect

The batteries are standard diameter 18650, but have the extended button tops which may be long for some flashlights. Not sure on your particular flashlight, but they still fit in mine even with slightly longer overall length.

Yeah, I just bought a M18 battery and one of these flashlights. They will NOT work together!

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?

I have no idea. You might check some of the flashlight forums on the web and see the manufacturers websites.

I use the Surefire A23 batteries. When I purchased, I also purchased a box of these batteries. I have not yet had to change the original set that came with the light and have used it mostly on low output, but about 1 hour total on high output. I have had the light for 2 months now.

Great flashlight! But unfortunately it came with two, very lame, COUNTERFEIT UltraFire batteries. They say 3000 MAh, but are probably only 1000 MAh. This is also supported by the weight of the batteries. A normal 3000 MAH Lithium battery weighs in at 1.5-1.7 oz. These are only 0.5 oz. Also, I sent a picture of these batteries to UltraFire and they said that it is not theirs.

I have the same light and the three (3) 26650 batteries and they fit fine. The 18650 batteries are the same length as the 26650, the only differences are the mAH rating and the 26650 are twice the size in diameter. Your flashlight should consist of four (4) body pieces which are the switch cap, two (2) body pieces, and the light assembly. If the light won't screw all the together I would check the switch cap and the for something that may have gotten stuck inside.

Unfortunately, the 18650 rechargeable battery will not fit in the flashlights. Mine just arrived around a half an hour ago, and tested them with the 18650, which sticks out from the base of the flashlight about a quarter of an inch. I'm not sure if this post was referring to an older model, but it doesn't fit the current.

They take number CR 123A, 3-volt lithium batteries. You can get them at Radio Shack or Walmart or like that but they are far cheaper and last longer when you get the Surefire brand.

No Jim, they are a special size that is used in many cameras and other digital devices, including the Surefire and other "tactical" flashlights. The generic size description for this shape and voltage is "123A". Check out this table found at: http://www.epectec.com/batteries/cell/ It has a few nice details about batteries, although it is not all-inclusive.One noteworthy difference is the voltage that they output ranges from 3 to 3.6 volts, where your AA batteries range from 1.2 to 1.5 volts... In lay terms, they typically carry a stronger power rating for devices that require the higher voltage output.

I have the same issues! I have had great success with the 750ma (green) batteries, so I ordered some of these 900ma (blue) batteries hoping for longer life. Instead I got varying voltages, higher than 3.0V that the flashlight did not like, plus, they are slightly bulkier and get stuck in the flashlight. They should be built to the same standard, but they are Not!

They use both. Rechargeable and non-rechargeable. I order my batteries from Surefire.

I have a couple running on 6px tactical lights, although I couldn't get them to work on some other similar sized model Surefires. I also have one running on an incandescent cheap nextorch light.
