I recently picked up a Streamlight TL-3 xenon. A little red piece of paper comes with the TL-3 saying that it MUST only be used with Streamlight cr123a's or Panasonic or Duracell. They don't really say why but do say if you don't listen the thing could explode. Wonderful.
I've seen great prices on the Battery Station cr123a's as well as Titanium cr123a's. But in the cr123a shootout thread, the Battery Station seemed to be the clear winner between those two.
SO MY QUESTION... has anyone used Battery Stations in Streamlights? The TL-3? Results? And while we are on that question, has anyone used any other off-brands with Streamlights and gotten the negative results they warn against??
PS: I tried searching the forums numerous times for this answer since I figured this HAD to have been asked. I couldn't find any posts.
