I am using Tenergy RCR123A 3.0V rechargeable LiFeP04 battery. So far no problems.

These lithium batteries are used in tactical flashlights. Amazon carries many brands and sizes but you need to ensure the bulb is rated for these. I have the same batteries for my 11,000 candle power light that uses a laser diode vs. a conventional led.

takes one CR123A. depending on where you're from, probablt about $7 each. DO NOT try to recharge the battery. rechargeable cr123's are available but cost more and I'm not an expert on voltages etc but u might not get full performance / life on rechargeable (possibly even damage the light) - do your research!

I have both batteries to use in this torchlight. Cr123a making a little problem on sizing. All these rechargable batteries are made in china. Thus, having size problems from brand to brand. To me, 18650 fits better and lifetime is longer.Hope can helpThanks

Can't be. An 18650 is WAY bigger than a CR123A and has 2-3,000 mAh. In a word...unpossible.

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

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...

most cr123 type batterys are not rechargeable (the ones that come with the flashlight are not) but if you buy rechargeable cr123 type batterys it will charge them. it says it will charge rcr 123 batterys, the (r) stands for rechargeable.

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.

Not sure about damage, but my flashlight (FENIX) worked with those, but company recommended TENERGY 18650 rechargeable. One 18650 same size as two CR123s. TENERGYs hold charge longer. Should work for you, John, but email to your LEGACY company should confirm it for you.

Negative, this light uses the equivalent of 3 AA's - plus with this bright of an output, AA's would go dead in about 2hrs. The 4000mAh rechargeable batteries will save you money versus disposable CR123's. I use my light extensively everyday, and switch out the battery daily - this has worked great for several weeks.

No batteries come with this light. Cr123 can be bought at a lot of stores. 18650 are rechargables, will need charger.

A lot of compact flashlight use this size. Based on warnings I've seen on similar batteries, the recommendation is for flashlights using incandescent bulbs. The lithium-ion batteries have a slightly higher output voltage which can damage incandescent bulbs.

The CR123s will work, but are a little loose. The light is designed to use a single BRC18650 3.7V lithium ion battery, which is manufactured and sold by (you guessed it) UltraFire.

No batteries, I would suggest a nice set of 18650 lithium rechargeable batteries and charger. Do not buy an unreliable brand of battery, you need a good protected cell like the PANASONIC, I suggest ORBTRONIC, Sal from the business sells here on Amazon as well as his own ORBTRONIC site.You can use the disposable CR123 lithiums but they will not last even half as long as the good 18650 cells. I use ORBTRONIC 3100mah 18650 rechargeable batteries and have for 2 years in multiple lights and have not had one problem. This is the most cost efficient option by far.

The only batteries I've used so far are Titanium Innovations CR123's and the Orbtronic 3400 18650b here http://amzn.com/B00BJ8W3KC. No problems with either!

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