In case anyone's interested, I picked up some Ultralast 3V R123A batteries and charger from Fry's this new years day and found they fit easily in my Jet1 and other lights. I know many people had trouble find rechargeable R123A cells that fit the Jet1 and similarly tight-spaced (small ID) lights, me being one of them. Dae's newer (he changed them maybe half a year ago) 3.6V R123As are skinnier and fit well. Looking for some 3V R123As tho, I found the Ultralasts when I was at Fry's shopping for other things and bought a charger/battery package in hopes it would fit and they do (seem to be same diameter as Dae's newer 3.6V cells). 2x Ultralast 3V R123As also light up my SF 6V LAs no problem (one tap). The charger looks identical to the one sold by e-lectronics and Powerizer (and probably other brands)...they're likely the same charger.
Just an FYI.
