Sorry to introduce myself with a question, but some of the threads have got me a little worried.
I recently treated myself to a Fenix P3D-Q5 and think it's a fantastic little light. However threads on here indicate that Lithium CR123A batteries have a habit of exploding. Also that the P3D might not have the best design from a safety point of view (lack of vent).
It came with 2 3V Golston batteries (which isn't a name I'd heard of). I was planning to get some Panasonic ones from 7dayshop: who I hope is reputable enough to send genuine batteries.
I'm starting to think that perhaps I would be better to get an L2D-Q5 instead, on the basis that NiMH batteries are safer.
I'm aware that I have only enough knowledge in this area to be dangerous. I'd very grateful if someone who actually understands the situation would provide some simple advice.
