    2x rcr123a's vs1x 18650

    Does the Tiablo A9 run better on 2 RCR123A's or 1 18650????? I understand that the A9 is best on Primary CR123's but I am rechargeable only. RCR's or 18650's only. Which is best for the A9? MRAK

    Tiablo A9 Battery questions

    Thanks, Again I have read ALL the spec charts and stuff, I understand that true MAX performance comes from primary 123's. I have decided to only use rcr123a's or other rechargeable batteries. Do "primary" 18650 exist or are 18650's all/only "rechargeable"??? MRAK

    Tiablo A9 Battery questions

    Gentlemen, all of my present high performance LED light use protected rcr123a batteries. Mostly for environmental reasons but also that it cheaper to cram more juice into old batts than to buy new ones. I just ordered a Tiablo A9 thrower specifically because it can handle pro. rcr123a's my...

    poor run times with rcr123a in the Nitecore EX10 R2

    I'm just jumping in to the whole cool light thing. I have a Fenix PD20, it too performs poorly with my Rcrs. I have read that Fenix recommends NOT using rcrs so I'm not surprised by the lack of high output performance. My Ex10 GDP works quite well with the rcrs. The light is speced to work with...

    poor run times with rcr123a in the Nitecore EX10 R2

    I will hit the shack for a multimeter soon. I will also pick up a primary for a test. I hope to stick to rechargeables for various reasons. THNX MRAK

    poor run times with rcr123a in the Nitecore EX10 R2

    I don't have a voltage meter. The Batts are Tenergy 900 mAh RCR123A 3.0v. I believe they are "protected" (forgive my newbeeness) I have recharged each of the six batts. several times. 4 or more. Again I have had none of the common problems with the GDP unit.

    poor run times with rcr123a in the Nitecore EX10 R2

    My new Nitecore EX 10 with the new R2 unit gets less than five min. run time at full power 145 lumens. To get the light working again, I must open the case completely. When closed again the light repeats its short run time, then sudden off. Any thoughts? My GDP EX 10 performs perfectly with the...

    Rechargeable batteries OK in Fenix PD20?

    Thanks for the info. I will pay close attention to batt/light combos. Do similar issues occur with RECHARGEABLE AA's. I am thinking of purchasing some AA based high performance lights. What should I look out for? MRAK

    Rechargeable batteries OK in Fenix PD20?

    Thank all!, The batts I ordered with the light, are the tenergy rechargeables. Protected at 3.0v I believe. I will have to wait and see. Thanks also for the friendly welcomes!!!! MRAK

    Rechargeable batteries OK in Fenix PD20?

    Cheers. Thanks for the edit. Still looking for a solid answer. In the mean time I've ordered a Nitecore Ex10 which specifically states that it can use Rcv123's. I'm moving up from an Inova x1 to 123's! A new $! hobby!

    Rechargeable batteries OK in Fenix PD20?

    Greetings I'm new to this hope for some straight answers. I ordered what looks to be a sweet light, the Fenix pd20. Subsequent to ordering I have read about some issues with this light and RECHARGEABLE rcv123a batteries. My questions are: Will this battery work correctly with this light.? If not...
