Hello.
I have done extensive research on hundreds of flashlights, and have decided that the Gladius is the one to get. However, on the night-ops website, http://www.night-ops.com/ it says that the Gladius does not support rechargeables. I sent an email to them for more information, and they told me the following:
1) The circuit limit of the light is 7V. The light takes two CR123As and all rechargeables of this type are 3.7V each-- two of them would go over this maximum limit by .4V.
2) My warranty is void as soon as I pop any pair of rechargeables into the light.
So, I have a couple questions for you:
1) What will overloading the circuit do? Will the light fry itself right away, would it shorten the lifespan, etc?
2) Letting the batteries cool after recharging will lower the voltage slightly; would this be enough to bring them down to 3.5V or below?
Thank you very much.
