Can I use rechargeable CR123A lithium batteries with this? They are 3.6 volts, not 3.0 volts like regular C123A batteries.

I would not use 3.6 volts, but you can check with the manufacturer.I bought the Tenergy 3.0V recharchables here on Amazon and they have worked just fine. I think they are listed as Tenergy RCR123A 3.0V

Shouldn't be an issue, but check with the manufacture if your really concerned.

Brand new R1 kit from Amazon. Also Tenergy 900mah 3.0V RCR123A rechargeable batteries w/ charger from Amazon. Flash units will not work with these batteries. Would like to know the secret from someone who made it work.

No. An 18650 is a rechargeable battery that takes the place of two CR123A batteries

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?

It takes AA batteries and I don't think that you can use rechargeable but I'm not sure. Our batteries have lasted a long time so I don't think you will have a problem.

Hi F. Austin, good question. The battery holder that comes with the flashlight only fits 3 x AA alkaline batteries. A rechargeable lithium cell would need to have the same size dimensions as the battery holder as well as the same voltage range (3.6V to 4.5V) as the 3 alkaline batteries in series. Generally single lithium cells have a voltage range of 3.2V to 4.2V, which isn't too far off from what it needs to be to operate the flashlight. The main concern is mechanical, is the cell long enough or too long and making sure the cell has a large enough diameter to not move around in the handle. I've never tried it so it would be completely experimental.

I believe so. I use rechargeable batteries, but Lithium should work. I haven't had any problems with them and my other devices.

No, you can use either a lithium rechargeable 18650 battery or the old-skool 2 cr123a's. the single battery is a superior and cost effective option. It has a killer runtime and 12.4 watt hours capacity-about the same as four rechargeable AA's. CR123 is a thing of the past with the awesome new lithiums.

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

you can use 3 -12v 10ah sla batteries in series or 1-36v lithium(which are kind of pricey)

Don't do it! The excess voltage would surely burn something out. (If they even fit.) There are numerous suitable "double A" batteries that will work, including many rechargeable ones.

6 real c cell batteries. Do not use rechargeable "c"'s. They are AA's in a larger sleeve and will not last. There are some true "C" rechargeables that rate over 4000 Mha, but they are expensive. I use copper top C's.

I used these batteries in my flashlight that called for the cr-123a batteries and they worked fine - saw no unusual issues (ie. shorter life, uneven lighting, heat, etc. . . ).

Yes, they are like any cr123a batteries. They seem to hold a very good charge and are worth having. The charger works great too.

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

They do make rechargeable C batteries. Just remember that rechargeable batteries starting voltage is 1.2 volts, where non rechargeable batteries start at 1.5 volts ( fully charge it is closer to 1.6). The rechargeable batteries will not last as long as regular batteries.

Yes, you can use the 3.7v. I use a rechargeable 3.7v, and it actually produces a brighter light than a standard AA lithium.

They are only 1.2V (all the 1.5V I found are alkaline batteries).For your purpose, I recommend you get the 1.2V rechargeable with the highest mAh. Personally, I would get these:8 pcs of Tenergy C Size 5000mAh High Capacity High Rate NiMH Rechargeable Batteries
