Flashlight Battery Noob Question

[KVoimakas]

I did a search first and I *think* I might have the answer, but I wanted to double check.

I have a flashlight that'll accept 2xCR123 (3-9v range.) As long as I can physically fit the battery inside the tube, I should have the option of running a 17670 OR an 18650, correct? (I would be running a protected AW version of either.)

Yes, I understand that if it fits an 18650, it'll be larger in diameter, so the smaller batteries like the CR123 or 17670 will rattle.

EDIT: My title should be Flashlight BATTERY Noob question.

Unless it's designed with a proper driver to run efficiently on 17670 or 18650

it may be very DIM .

Check the sales specifications where you bought it .

I was told it runs on one 18650 with no problems...
