These when I'm in a hurry: http://www.airsoftparts.ca/store2/in...roducts_id=262

Do these last??? I almost just paid 18$ for 2 at canadian tire good thing i waited to get home and check up ASC. If they would last at least 2hrs in a 250 lumens light they would be worth it (good ones are supposed to last 4hrs)

Look for Soshine 3V CR123 rechargables on Ebay. You can get 10 pcs. for 35 US dollars + shipping+ the cost of charger.
They work great on my incandescent Surefire M3, M4, and M6 Special Operation lights.

yes they do! I have yet to run a torch for 2 hours straight, but with the light it's currently in, it's been used for 2 night games since May plus the odd use at home.

The DX cr123's I posted in the same post have also been pretty reliable so I now always order a few pairs when I order something.

Panasonic CR123 from DonP 2.50 ea if you buy 10+. I threw out some of my rechargeables from deal extreme. The material for the battery is so cheap that the pressure from the spring on my flashlight left a very deep impression on the negative terminal of the battery.

same price as Jugglez at airsoftparts.

I've never tried the DX rechargeables. I stick to the lithium disposables as they have been very reliable.

sorry, I should have gone over the order before posting but the actual price was $29.99 and $12 shipping a little over $42 dollars but great if you consider that two sets of Duracells cost about as much.

Beware with Hong Kong CR123 rechargables. I bought a set that stated they were 3v. Put them into my Surefire flashlight and immediately blew the bulb. Ordered a new bulb and blew that one.

I tested the batteries at the output was 4v instead of 3v and was blowing the bulbs. I tossed the batteries into the trash. The Surefire flashlight I had cannot use over a 3v battery as told to me by surefire themselves and was the cause of my bulbs blowing.

^^ x2

most, if not all, rechargeable cr123's are rated at 3.6V. all batteries when new or just charged will show a higher than rated voltage. just like when you recharge your AEG battery. an 8.4v battery can easily read over 9v's once fully charged.

They work great and the voltage is 3v. Make sure you read the item description properly, as there are 3.5v as well.

LiFePO4 Batteries from AW on CPF.
NEW R123 with safe chemistry - CPFMarketPlace

And go get a LED drop in module from DX while you're at it (Assuming it's a standard P60 module).
