I remember this topic being brought up before but I can't for the life of my find the thread. Why exactly is it the the BS 123A's don't work well in the A2? And what problems occur with using them in an A2?
There were problems with some of the BS batches. I'm not sure of the dates of those batches. I had problems with 2 batches but I hear that the newer BS 123s are OK.
If you contact Kevin he should be able to fix you up.
I´ve had problems with 2 batchs. First time incan goes on it´s already dim. Had to use the batts with the G2. Turned to Sanyo for the A2. No feedback until now (Haven´t put them in the lantern yet). I´ve read they´re fine for this light.
