has anyone tried to use CR123 batteries with this light?

yes. however the light had a sort and ran the battery down in a couple of days. Also I have a 500 m light that was brighter than the 1000m

I do not own RCR123 rechargeable batteries but I have read test reviews that indicated the light will run on them.

No, this flashlight can not use rechargeable batteries. Only standard non-rechargeable CR123A batteries are recommended by Foursevens. It does come with one CR123A battery though.

A CR123A battery is 1.625 inches. If this device could break the laws of physics, it would be a lot more expensive. The shortest light you can possibly get with a CR123A is going to be 2+ inches.

This light comes with 2 non rechargeable surefire brand CR123 batteries. You can use rechargeable CR123s, but you have something like 50 percent less battery life. Just buy a large pack of Surefire CR123 (they run cheaper than other brands) and you should be set.

I have had this flashlight for about 2 years and have always used rechargeable CR123A batteries with no problems. This is a great light. I ended up buying 4 of these over the past two years for family and friends.

I find it hard to believe the cr123s would limit the high end output of the Xenix of any other light. In fact I was under the impression the 18650s were more limited on max lumens but provided a better burn time than the cr123s. My Nitecores and my fenix both seem to do very well on these cr123 cells...

I have not. I have managed to get 6 months out of my batteries. One suggestion is to turn off the LED light if you have not already done so.

If u are talking about replacing 2 cr123a batteries than the answer is yes. Thos battery is a tad bit wider but most flashlights etc. accomadate for the wider profile.

This flashlight takes the CR123. It DOESN'T fit an 18650. And the reflector is smooth, it's NOT and orange peel reflector. I have this flashlight so I can see all this in person. Lol. It's a great lil flashlight though.

One of these does work to replace two CR123 batteries IF the device is designed to handle either. For instance I have two Fenix flashlights that both use 2 x CR123 batteries. One is an older model and a 18650 does not fit. One is newer and was designed to work with two CR123 or a single 18650. If your device does not state it can use either type its a tossup - as previous posters noted the diameter and voltage and terminal shapes are different.

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.

If that stream light requires the CR123A battery then I would image that these batteries would work

Yes... You can use two CR123 batteries or one 18650 battery. The led will operate on a range of voltage from 3.7v to 7.4v or slightly higher controlled by its built in circuitry.

i just looked that flashlight up on amazon and it said it takes 2-cr123a or 1-... 18650 and that is the battery you are asking about ...so yes you can use that battery

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?

I have the same light and purchased the batteries in the link below. They are decent (you get what you pay for) for what I'm trying to accomplish. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006OHO9I2/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
