AW 3v LifePo4 or Tenergy LifeP04 3v or Tenergy RCR123 3v ???

[DHart]

Just wondering which of these cell options would be considered the best choice... I would use these in place of two 3v CR123 lithium primaries in lights such as some Surefires and Streamlight TLR-1.

Between the two Tenergy's, I know the 3v LifeP04 are a safer chemistry with 750 mAh and the 3v RCR123A are lithium-ion with 900 mAh... but no clue as to which might be the better choice.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Covers 2 of the 3 batteries you're inquiring about. I'll try to conduct some more testing but thus far, it looks like the Tenergy LiFePO4 edge out the AW ones.

Cheers,

Tim... thanks for the reply! I was starting to feel a bit lonely here!

I ordered up four Tenergy LiFePO4 3v cells and a charger... best thing, I guess, is to just test them out for yourself! SO here I go.

Thanks for the link... I'll go have a look.

AW on the same thread of their LifePO 4 confirms that the Tenergy LiFePO4 battery can be recharged even UltraFire 3.0V/3.6V CR123A Charger
Since the AW LiFePO4's can be loaded with the Nano Li-ion Single 3.0V CR123A Charger, of course, the Nano Li-ion Single 3.0V CR123A Charger is good for LifoPO Tenergy
