Are these crystals "rechargeable" like the way the API Ammo Chips allegedly are?

I recharge mine and they seem to work fine. I usually only recharge them 2 or 3 times then I toss them.

Howdy , yes you can rinse the crystals like I do under my pur water filter . I do a half crystals and half carbon l in my filter mix Tetra power filter 30 with the U assemble large filters and can usually get at least 5 days on it before cryslal/carbon/ filter floss bag change out . I have two large Goldfish ( 12" long and a 24 " plecasumas ) and of course they create alot of waste .

Since this material is basically the same stuff as other "Ammo Chips", I'm fairly confident that they're rechargeable. However, since the cost of these chips is so low, I don't know if it's worth the task.

Yes they are, by soaking them in marine water, I've been doing this this for over 20 yrs. I wouldn't recharge for more than 5 or 6 times

Nowhere in the container does it say that they are rechargeable. Apparently they just disintegrate over time as they come in contact with ammonia.

How would they "recharge"? Sorry I'm unfamiliar with that term being applied to ammonium chips. As far as I know, you keep using them until they are spent. I can't imagine a process that would make ammo chips "fresher" during use. Sounds like a gimmick if you ask me.

Yes they are. They are closer to the size of a C cell battery but twice as long. They are the same type of cell that is in laptop battery packs. If you search 18650 you will find the batteries and chargers here on Amazon for very good prices. All the Ultrafire batteries I have bought work great. This is by far the best of the best when it comes to budget flashlights like these: http://www.amazon.com/UltraFire-WF-502B-XM-LT6-Flashlight-Clip/dp/B006LVBDNU/ref=sr_1_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1364293375&sr=1-3&keywords=ultrafire+502b

Seems like they do, however I chose to use the rechargeable lithium (18365?). These flashlights (any brand LED over 100 lumens) really go thru expensive CR123 batteries fast. Get the recharge... well worth it.

you can charge them as much as you want they don't acquire a 'memory' but as soon as the fully charged light comes on remove from charger they can be damaged by being left on charge they don't seem to discharge just lying around the mah hours on these batteries are greatly overstated

I did not have success with them, only temporarily. Due to higher voltage, 4.2 Volts, they have a regulator that cuts off when ever he wants and your flashlight will go dark, even do the voltage will read 3.2 on the voltmeter.I used them in a NOVA flashlight. Rechargeable batteries made 2 or more years ago with different technology worked fine, and their initial voltage after charging was 3.2 V. Honestly I don't know what are this batteries for, I will not risk an electronic devise with them. I am an electronics engineer. Sorry Tenergy.

Contrary to what others are saying here, these ARE rechargeable. ANY ALKALINE battery can be rechargeable; it's the CHARGER that matters--it MUST be for alkaline batteries. I have a few of them. Now they do not recharge very well, won't work for a smoke detector for example, but for other 9v devices that will work fine at 8-8.5v, 9v alkaline will recharge ok for those devices.

They're alkaline batteries and not rechargeabe. According to our hazardous waste guidelines you can just put akaline batteries in the regulartrash. If they had mercury they probably would have to be disposed of differently. I don't see mercury anywhere on the package.

You can find them... but they are almost as expensive as the whole package. If you have some technical knowledge it is just a pack of 4x 18650 batteries- 2 sets of parallel wired in series.

Tricky question to answer but short answer is No, these are high quality batteries that basically do everything they say. And there is no memory effect and no need to fully discharge in order to achieve optimal capacity. I tested these batteries new and they got over their rated capacity. That being said, all batteries degrade over time and use, so fully discharging and then charging will help them come closer to their full capacity. However, if a low quality charger is used such as a "fast charger", then the batteries have been baked by the cheap charger and their capacity has been permanently reduced, no matter if you fully discharge and recharge or not. You will get long lasting results from using a charger like the LaCross BC-1000 or Powerx MH-C9000. Both of these chargers are excellent and work quite well. I've seen other cheap batteries only deliver 50% or less of their capacity, but they were also fried by a cheap charger. It sounds like your batteries have been somewhat fried by a fast charger. You might be able to restore them somewhat by performing the full discharge and recharge that you mentioned, but I've only seen capacity increases of about 15% with this procedure, so it's not a perfect cure. One other thing to consider, if you are using these batteries in a heavy drainage application that is pulling a lot of current and using the battery up quickly, then all batteries will under perform in this situation and will not deliver their full rated capacity. If a 2400 mAh battery was drained fast at 2400 ma, it would not last for 1 hour. You might get 40 minutes or less. But if you drained 100 ma slowly from it, it would easily last for about 24 hours.

not easily -- they recharge themselves in normal operation. We havent done any thing to stress-test how long the batteries last before needing recharge.

We have rechargeable in ours. not sure if they're lithium, though. Good Luck! It is fantastic for focusing on paintings, photos, etc. R.

There are low drain rechargeable batteries on the market. These hold their charge longer even when not in use. They are what I use and buy then off Ebay.

I don't know... I used them in my Seimens and they worked for about a week then they did not seem to hold a charge. I put my original rechargeable batteries back in and they are working OK. I am not going to buy these batteries again. They seemed like a good price for $13,but I guess you get what you pay for.

yes.and they work very well.takes a little longer to charge but it is worth it. i use them in a metal detector.

Hi-It would be best to contact the manufacturer directly. The ammo is like a gel. I have not seen any leftover in my yard. I keep them in jars of water so they are ready to use. (if not, you will have to wait for them to expand................)

William, your question doesn't exactly make sense. The Super TAC X does use standard CR123a batteries. Standard CR123's are not rechargeable. However there are companies out there that do make rechargeable CR123a batteries listed as (RCR123a). Just do a search for rechargeable cr123a and you will find plenty of the batteries and their chargers. No reason they shouldn't work in this light unless they have a nominal dimension that is a tad wider making them a tight fit.

i really can not recall but as i said in the review i would not buy these. all the ultimate lithium i received were bad and i received a refund on them because they would not charge. the rechargeable lithium are the ones i use and are great.
