Is anyone using Li-ions in a Quark Mini123?

Safe?
Burn out LED early?

It will function but it can't really handle the heat on high. I haven't risked it, but I've heard it gets super hot within a few minutes and will probably shorten the life of the led.

That's all I've been using in my MiNi 123. It does get a bit hot when left on high for a while, but I've gone the distance to "empty" the cell and have had no problems.

Just use "uncommon" sense. If it's hot in your hand, use a lower level. If not, rock on!

I just don't want to risk someone "borrowing" it for some God-forbid reason and

so I'll stick with primaries

I swear, this question is asked about once every three days...

Never thought of the borrowing angle...but my mini would never be the light I handed to someone for use without me present and it's always with me so I don't worry about anyone in the house just randomly grabbing it.

Love that beam on a rcr123.
