Hi, this flashlight can be use with CR123 batteries? thanks. Rick

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.

Yes, the one that I have seems to have a buck converter driver, and it is fine on 6V from 2x CR123. The specs say 3.7-8.4V, so presumably it hasn't changed since I bought mine. Mine quits right around 3V, so a single CR123 would only work briefly if at all. 2x CR123 fit fine. Mine measured about 300mAat 6V, so 2xCR123 should last 3-4 hours.

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

Good Morning, I am scared to say that it will take any battery but as long as its a quality 18650 you should be safe. I just checked to be sure and dropped a few different style 18650's into the bore and all worked. The light comes with the Fenix ARB-L1t 3400 + I am tossing in 2 Xtar CR123a's. Thanks, Shane

All my flashlights only uses two cr123's but if yours uses 4 theoretically you should be able to stack them as most flashlights that are cr123 are designed to run 18650's as well. Good luck.

I wouldn't recommend it, although I've heard some say yes, but I personally will just use surefire cr123.

Be sure the chemistry of your CR123(A) battery is Li-Ion, not just Lithium. The former are rechargeable; the latter is not.

No it will not charge cr123... Don't waste ur $$$$ on those batteries. The best bet is buy the 18650 rechargeable. It can be very expensive if u only use cr123... The flashlight is awesome tho. Best small light I ever bought

Hi, It can not charge the CR123A battery since it's a 3.0V battery. The universal charger only works with 3.6/3.7 & 7.2/7.4V li-ion battery and Ni-MH battery. Kind regards, Terry 877-268-1235 x304

CR123. I wouldn't recommend this product! It's not worth the money. It doesn't put out the lumens they claim in fact not even close.

Will not accept AAA batteries. However, you may use 2 CR123 batteries found in the Photo Dept at your local department store. But a good 18650 will give maximum power. I think the CR123 is suffice

These batteries are not same as cr123. They are bigger and stronger than cr123's and they will fit inside unique fire uf-2200 flash light.

Hey, it uses cr123's (2) . 18650s are just slightly too big to fit in the tube. It's a pretty good flashlight ; however, I gave mine to my brother. For pretty much the same price the Fenix PD32 UE or PD35 are vastly superior lights in lumen capacity, function and user interface, as well as build quality.

No the CR123 are too small for the C spots, to big for the AA spots but do stand up with wasted space in the 9volt slots that are for the rectangular 9 volt. The slot is the right width anyhow.

I'm not familiar with the CR123 battery. I use this in a drawer and it has really helped keep it neat and organized.

I would have to say no simply being that the only reason why I purchase the CR2 Batteries is for a Bushnell Yardage Device for golf. They only take CR2 batteries specifically. Cheers!!
