Fenix PD 30

[wolfeinstein]

I just got my Fenix PD-30 very happy with it!
I got two batteries from Walmart it cost $10 way too expensive.

I need some rechargeable batteries with cahrger what can you guys recommend?

I need a CR123A or is there a longer lasting battery than that?

I haven't jumped into using the RCR123 batteries yet.

I got my CR123a Engerizer lithiums from Lighthound. They were $1.50 a piece so the price is not too bad. You can purchase CR123a batteries online for comparable price. Just make sure they are made in the USA.

Two SureFire cr123 batteries at Lowes for 5 bucks.

Not rechargeable, but before this gets moves to the battery section I want to throw it out there.

There are issues with some of the rechargeable fitting in the Fenix P3D. I'm assuming the PD30 is the same. I have, and am happy with AW RCR123's. They fit fine.

Richardcpf I might be wrong about this but I dont think you can charge 3v batteries in a 3.6/3.7v charger.


You must use the 3.0V RCR123A Li-Ion 900mAh battery charger linked below to charge these batteries. Please do not use other charger, including any 3.6V Li-Ion bttery charger, which can not full charge the 3.0V Li-Ion batteries.
I'm sure you meant to link to a 3.6/3.7v battery.
I would hate to see if they bought that charger then those good batteries and tried to charge them.

I bought 2 AW RCR123's and a nano charger from fenix-store.com

I've been through about 3 cycles and no problems. Besides, I think AW is the way to go with rechargeables. I've seen many issues on here about ____fire batteries failing.

For primaries I ordered 20 Titanium PowPower from batteryjunction.com. I got them shrinkwrapped in pairs vertically so you don't get old cells mixed up... They have lasted me for over 2 years now and they were like $26 with shipping
