Can I use rechargable batteries with this light? Instead of 2X CR123a can I use the double version of this type of battery?

Yes. Just one caveat. Fresh out of the recharger, the C123A 3v. will be charged to 3.2 volts as read on a volt meter. So to be on the safeside of the voltage tolerances of any C123A 3v. powered light, let them cool down or rest for an hour or two, or until they check out at 3.0 volts o a meter. Some LCD's, and/or the circuit boards, are very voltage sensitive, and 3.2 volts will burn them out.

Good question. I would suppose you can, as long as the rechargeable battery mets the voltage/current specifications for the light. If you aren't sure, I'd recommend against making the change.

I haven't tried it but if it fits and carries the same charge then I suppose it will work.

Never tried it. As long as the voltage is what the light requires, I don't see as how it would hurt to try.

my flashlight uses cr123 it works fine with the batteries I use. but as I stated my batteries are NOT re-charged.

Rick: Technically, yes. You could make a spacer the same size as a CR123 and use it and the battery together to run the light, but using two CR123's will be 6v, when the flashlight needs 3.7v. The batteries the flashlight needs are rechargeable though, so it's almost a better option anyway.

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

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

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.

Excellent question. I will wait to see answer before buying this lantern as I want to use rechargeable batteries with it.

Batteries has to be changed...takes two double A batteries. However I would recommend you purchasing a light that is rechargeable, this light went out in me after about 4-5 uses. I tried to replace old batteries with a new set. Still doesn't work. Waste of my money. And looking to return ASAP.

This uses 2 CR123A batteries. Get good ones, don't cheap out (any std brands-duracell, energizer, surefire, or batterystation).

No the one you have is smaller, and can also use a rechargeable 14650 lithium ion battery. Regular AA only puts out 1.5v the lithium ions put out 3.7v. It probably also uses the Cree q5 LED, this one uses a Cree XML T6 LED which is brighter. This one requires a 18650 battery, a AA will not work, although there might be a 3 AAA adapter for these. There is also another version that looks like this light but is larger and uses a 26650 which is even larger than an 18650.

I takes "AAAA" batteries. (Yes 4-A's, quadruple). There really is such a thing. Triple 'A' is too big for this slim light.

As listed in the description it uses 1 - 18650 3.7v rechargeable battery. Which must be purchased separately. Some CREE lights have an adapter that allows you to use 3 - AA batteries instead. This is not one of them.

Yes, this light can be powered by two cr123 batteries that should be in the photo section of your local big box store. The other option is using the 18650 batteries which are available on amazon and maybe some hobby stores

It's kind of stupid that the product description doesn't say what kind of batteries. I had the exact same question when I was looking at this page. The manufacturer's website says CR2032, 1 each for the two lights, and battery lasts upto 100 hours. Manufacturer's website also says batteries are included, don't know if that is true with this amazon vendor though.

it takes one CR123 battery. not rechargable. now i will say this, if you're wanting something incredibly powerful, this is not the laser for you. It is bright and highly visible, and I don't know much about lasers themselves, but with the specs they state for this, you SHOULD be able to see the entire beam clearly indoors or outdoors at night. but that's just not the case. it's cool and all but i would save your money and go buy a nicer one.

The battery that is comes with is not rechargeable. However you can purchase rechargeable batteries for this light as seen on the surefire website. It is also available on amazon. Search sf2r-cb

no, you must use the 18650, you can also use 2- 123cr batteries, but i would stay with the 18650.
