No, the discharge rate of this light is not a problem for any standard ICR Li ion. The only concern is size and fit, and it sounds like you will be fine.So you dont believe I will have any cutoff issues due to high discharge rates?

What type of battery are you using? Have you tried multiple types, included different brands of 18650 and primary CR123A?ive tried everything in the manual, learned all the modes and submodes, and i can assure u its not a simplistic mistake. if i change (or start on) a lesser output than turbo, after 3 seconds the light will shut off for a sec, then turn back on. after that it stays on about 20 seconds, and repeats. every 20 seconds. again, really not sure what to do, any advice would help alot! thanks
hey CPF!
I bought this light (Eagletac G25C2 Mark 2) ,,, it stays on about 20 seconds, and repeats. every 20 seconds. again, really not sure what to do, any advice would help alot! thanks
Yes there is, at least on the sample I purchased.Stupid question- how do I run it with two CR123 without rattle? Is there a CR123 holding device included?

My Mark II version did not come with a cr123 magazine, nor have I seen it listed as an included accessory in any product description. It is standard with the D25LC2, the XP-G2 and XM-L U2 versions I have both came with.
Hmmm, my Mark I was bought as part of the kit with the diffuser cover/filters and body tube extenders ... the plastic anti-rattle insert may not have been included with the standard base model. :shrug:My Mark II version did not come with a cr123 magazine, nor have I seen it listed as an included accessory in any product description.

Mine didn't come with the full 2xCR123 insert either, but a smaller plastic tube that was presumably for rattle prevention. I just checked the manual, and this is confirmed - but it is meant to be used when the 3x or 4x battery tube extender is in place. For regular 2xCR123A usage, you can buy the proper full-sized insert separately, as you observed. Olight also sells a similar one. These typically work in most lights wide enough for 18650 cells.I have bought 2 G25C2 with the accesory kits and 1 G25C2 Markll and none came with 123 x2 insert.
Very little has changed in the interface between the MK I and MK II. Mainly, there are a few more auxillary modes now.1) Are there any changes in the interface between mk1 and mk2?
2) I see that there's a way to program the light to trigger the strobe from any brightness with a double click of the tailswitch, which is great. On the new TX25C2, you can trigger the strobe OR go straight to Turbo from any brightness with the button. With the G25C2-mk2, is there a way to go straight to Turbo from Low/Med, one-handed when holding the mk2 with my thumb on the tailswitch?
Ah, thanks again for the info. Can't wait to see the XM-L2 results.Very little has changed in the interface between the MK I and MK II. Mainly, there are a few more auxillary modes now.
In answer to your second question - no. With tailcap strobe enabled, you can jump to strobe from any head-set level by simply flashling the tailcap from On. But there is no way to jump to Turbo without tightening the head. This is the limitation of the use of a physical clicky switch interface - it can only be programmed to do one thing. The TX25C2 has the extra flexibility that an electronic switch provides.
My review of the G25C2-II with XM-L2 should up within a week.
I just tried and was unsuccessful ... perhaps you need stronger (or longer) pinky fingers than I have, but I couldn't overcome the resistance. I think the problem is the size of the head is such as you don't have enough leverage with your pinky.BTW, one last question about the interface: I know this light is significantly bigger than a Quark QPA, but in the photos of you holding it, it appears that you might be able to hold the head with your pinky while reaching the tailswitch with your thumb. This is how I trigger Turbo/strobe on my QPA-G2 one-handed, by holding the head with my pinky and turning the body with my thumb and index finger (and I can then press the tailswitch for strobe if needed).
