For an HDS carried in a Skiing backpack, do you think CR123 is necessarily better than 16340? Lets assume the light will be in the pack for 4 months, and would see no actual use. Overnight temperatures do not go below 10F here.
Which battery would you pick, and why?
fwiw, I did a test, and it did not help answer that question:
I put an HDS, a CR123, and a 16340 in my freezer for 2 hours, and then tested the output of each battery in the cold light, on my Lumen Tube.
I measured no significant output difference (using mode B set to 10 lumens and mode C at 40 lumens), to when the batteries were at house temperature.. Im not sure CR123 has any advantage over 16340, in snowy weather.
Please share your experience if you have noticed a difference when using CR123 vs 16340 in snow country.
