I'm no e-series expert, but check out the lumensfactory bulbs, they have replacement e-series bulbs to take RCR's and toget more lumens.

There have been a few recent threads that concluded yes.

Not for the E2DL they don't.

It will void the warranty but supposedly they fit, although I never did get a definite answer from anyone. I did find out that the runtime will suck and it may not be brighter.

Maybe it's more safety to use AW:s 3,0v (6,0v) i believe 8,4v is to much. :thinking:
It's to bad that i can't use the primary cells, but they cost to much over here. No one will pay $7.00 each ? ($14.00 for 60 min runtime) :green:

Does anyone here know if Battery Junctions rechargeable Tenergy RCR123 will fit inside the E2DE-BK ?

Why not buy them on the internet, then your can get a better price. In Europe your pay $2-$4 for a primary CR123 cell on the internet.

I think that's a bad deal..if i can use rechargeable "Tenergy RCR123" (3,0v)

2 3V RCR123s come to 7.2V total right off the charger.

There are two kind of 3 volt cells:

3.7 volts cells with regulator.
3.2 volt cells with low capacity.

None of them are perfect, but if your are using the flashlight a lot , they are more economic than primary.

The best is to get lights that can use real 3.7 volt cells, no wasted energy in a regulator or low capacity cell, and the best 3.7 volt cells are 18650 cells (I know that Surefire does not support these cells).

Yep, I have two and thats ALL I use. One is set on top of a sigle cell tube, the other is the original 2 cell tube. Bright as hell in the two cell RCR123 config. Go for it!
