Delkin "eFilm" R123 feedback?

[greenLED]

A friend of mine is looking into getting a set of these Delkin "eFilm" R123 cells. I've never heard of them, and a search here didn't produce much.

Anybody's got experience with them? How do they perform? Any comparisons against other brands?

:thanks:

I got two that I use in a LEDlenser. Unfortunately I do not have any other RCR123 to compare them to.

Ask away, I will do my best to answer.

Hoping to use them on a SF A2, and some other outdoor gear (SteriPen, for example).

I got a PM from a fellow CPF'er warning me they're complete junk.

Basically, I'd appreciate you telling me what you used them in, and what type of performance (if any) did you get. Would you recommend them to others, or should I skip them and buy something else?

Fit inside a SF A2 is a must.

I don't know anything about these cells, but I notice that website says:

Note: Not recommended for use in Surefire or Streamline brand flashlights.

Since stores normally try to sell you stuff, that'd worry me....

They fit in my unmodified SF. The battery claims to be 3V, not 3.7V. My Incan SF (6P) hated it. I turned it off as fast as possible. No damage after 3 seconds. I can't really compare runtimes, unless I was willing to throw away some good CR123s. But I did use non-rechargeables in the LEDlenser along time ago. Horrible runtime, even worse with the RCR123s. How bad? I don't remember. I gave it to a family member as a poop finder for the dogs.

I would not recommend them. For the main reason they say 3V and they definitely are not. My SF told me so.

Thanks, guys. Sounds like these are definitely not worthwhile.
