Maybe I should give more info? I would like to run an Inova X5 flashlight on a rechargeable lithium ion battery. I believe a 17670 is a direct replacement for 2 CR123 batteries. Whould the voltage of a 17670 be enough to drive the LEDs of an Inova X5?

It does work but at a reduced brightness. Havent tested runtime but it should be shorter than 2x 123 cells but more constant brightness throughout the run. Personally, and I love rechargeables, I stick with primary cells for the X5 because I only use it occasionally.
