3V RCR123 in SF M6

Brozneo · Sep 19, 2007

Hi all,

I've searched - haven't found - so now to post!

Just wondering how 3V RCR123s go in the SF M6 w/ MN20 & MN21?

How they go? They go :poof:

or at least your bulb would. don't do it.

Brozneo, given the 3 in series two parallel stacks of RCR123's your added working voltage is way above the 6.8V and 7.5V for the MN21 and Mn20 respectively. As mentioned, this is not feasible. You can try the MN60 lamp though, which is underdriven in the M4. No guarantees though.

I think he's talking about 3.0v cells, not 3.7v cells.

I don't know the answer there, but I will point out that the Lumens Factory HO-M6R bulb works in the M6 with 3.7v cells.

and if you use one of FM's bipin holders, WA1185 on 3S2P lithiums is GREAT!

Cool thanks for the advice guys - I might just do some experimenting and hope for NO :poof:

!!!!!

I do have one of FM's Bi-Pin holders on route for the M6 - so am going to try both the WA1111 and 85.... Will let you know!
