Can The Surefire E2D Executive Defender Work On RCR123 Batteries?..

[busseguy]

I just got a mint condition surefire E2D executive defender flashlight in trade and it came with 2 surefire cr123 batteries.
The question I have is can it work with protected RCR123 rechargeables?.

I hope so, cus if not its gonna have to find a new home as I cant afford to buy regular CR123 batteries all the time.

Thanks in advance..







I forgot to mention that this one has the regular bulb and not the led.

If it's the incan model (E2D) you can't unless you get a Lumens Factory bulb that can handle the extra voltage. If it's the newer E2DL (LED), there are people who have been running 2x3.7volt cells with no problems.

If you want to use protected RCR123s, you need to use one of these lamps.

There also other options like using fivemega's E2e bi pin socket and a TL-3 lamp.

Mine does.

And my E2d incandescant works on a Lumens Factory bulb and RCR's.

The LF EO-E2R claims 150 (I'm guessing bulb) lumens. Lighthound has them back in stock. I just picked up two this week. They're pretty good bulbs with a long life span. My last one lasted about two years of EDC use.

I'm using Trustfire 3.6V RCR123s.
