do AW's 3.7v rcr123 work with lights that say 3.6v?

[paulmarcellini]

i ordered some different lights from dealextreme that say they take a 3.0 or 3.6v rechargeable. I have some of aw's 3.7 rechargeables and was wondering if i would blow the bulbs. the lights are the 3w mdxl cree and the ultrafire c2 cree.

Thanks,
Paul

No problem....3.6 v or 3.7 volt..really the same battery. THey charge up to 4.2 volts...and usually show 4.0 under load. Just right for most Led's. However..be careful about putting two of the 3.7 volt 123's in a light that doesn't specifically say you can use them... 8 volts WILL blow an Led that isn't regulated.
