    Alternative to AW IMR 16340?

    Thanks, HKJ! Maybe you'd consider doing a review of the Olight 550mAh IMR 16340? They get good reviews on Amazon. Where do you get your AWT IMR 16340s? I've searched, but don't see anybody I recognize. Thanks for the additional feedback on the AWT cells. Perhaps so, but, as I wrote...

    Alternative to AW IMR 16340?

    Thanks for the pointer, HKJ. That test (and thanks for those, btw!) was nearly two years ago. I wonder do you have any idea of users' experiences with Windyfire cells, particularly their IMR16340, in the two years since? As Chris Garret noted in the original CPF review thread: " If this...

    Alternative to AW IMR 16340?

    Hi All, Doing my homework, it seemed to me the "best" way to go for rechargeable batteries in a CR123-form-factor was IMR chemistry, and particularly AW's IMR 16340. But my source for those, Oveready, is now out of stock (I got the last five they had) and informs me "AW lost their factory."...

    Recommended Source For Batteries (In The U.S.)?

    The 16340s are for other lights that take a single CR123.

    Recommended Source For Batteries (In The U.S.)?

    They have the 17500s, but out of stock on the 16340s. *sigh*... They look like the best bet, yet, so I'll just keep an eye on them for the 16340s, and hope they'll still have stock in the 17500s when they do. The CR123 primaries I'll just get wherever. Probably Amazon, since CR123s can be...

    No, I have not done the upgrade, yet. Limited funds for such things and I've other priorities atm. I did a bit of search-engine-ing. Wasn't confident with the results, thus asking here :) I'll give them a look. Thanks. Ah! Thanks! I tried both search-engine-ing and searching on eBay...

    Recommended Source For Batteries (In The U.S.)?

    I do not know. It's for this: Surefire M3 CombatLight LED Conversion?. 17500s were suggested. Couldn't find a "Batterydepot" on eBay. General search on "Batterydepot" on the web turned up a very expensive store. Already checked Illumn. "mtnelectronics" has none of: CR123, RCR123, 16400 or...

    Recommended Source For Batteries (In The U.S.)?

    I know them. I bought my high-current 18650s there, during my brief foray into vaping. No CR123 at all. (Not surprising.) Only one 16340 brand: Efest. No 17500 at all. One brand of CR123: Ray-O-Vac. Decent selection of 16340. Prices look competitive. No 17500 at all. Wow. Thanks for...

    Thanks, but, wasn't finding what I wanted, there.

    Recommended Source For Batteries (In The U.S.)?

    It's in the subject line: Please recommend a good source for batteries here in the U.S. (Other than Battery Junction. They're out.) Thanks, Jim

    Battery Junction Issues

    I don't know what happened to Battery Junction. They used to be top-notch. Went to buy batteries from them this evening. "Huh," I said to myself, "my Battery Junction account seems to be missing from my keyring?" No worries. Try to tell their site to email me my password. It doesn't know...

    CR123s and RCR123s (16340s): What Do We Like (and what about multiple RCR123s?)

    Hi All, As I get ready to place my biennial CR123 order, and consider the number of lights I have that run on CR123s, I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps it's not time to invest in some RCR123s? First question is: What do we like in RCR123s, for flashlights, these days? Secondly: ISTR, from...

    Surefire M3 CombatLight LED Conversion?

    Noticed that, after WOL's post, below. Thanks! Hmmm... I do have an IntelliCharger i2... Thanks, WOL! I think that LumensFactory upgrade is probably what I want. I'll look to see if I can find reviews of it, anywhere. Like I said: Want to preserve, as closely as possible, the stock throw...

    Surefire M3 CombatLight LED Conversion?

    Thanks for the pointer. Those look terrific, but, $116-$126 is more than I'd care to spend on this upgrade. Jim
