Dear CPF'ers,
First, thank you for all the great information on this page. I have recently purchased the PD35, which is fantastic. I plan to use it over the next year while travelling around Asia and the Middle East.
I like that the light takes the CR123s, as I have a SteriPen for water purification that also uses these batteries. However, it seems that 18650 are the better battery.
I bought this cheap combo on Amazon as I wanted to have a charger that is as portable as possible. The Nitecore charger is nice, but just too big for me. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A34SANW/?tag=cpf0b6-20
I realize that a protected battery is the better route, so I was going to keep the included ultrafire battery as a backup and also purchase a protected EagleTac 3400. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AYLA5UU/?tag=cpf0b6-20
Is it okay for me to charge the EagleTac in this cheapo charger? Will it harm the light? Is this the best battery available? I don't want to sacrifice any lumens.
thank you
