JetBeam III-Pro ST and CR123 batteries???

[Sproles]

OK - question. I just received a SWEET new Jet 3 Pro ST through a trade and I did not have 18650 cell yet and I thought I would try 2 CR123s in it. They fit, but I am curious since there is a new version (the BVC) that is intended for both types of cells, does this mean that I could damage my Jet 3 Pro ST?

Thanks for the info and the help...

Please dont fry you new flashlight.

The new broad voltage one is ok with 2 cr123 but the older one will just cook and you will have an expensive paperweight.

Squidboy is right. Unless you have the BVC model, do not use anything but an 18650. You will fry the LED....maybe not right away, but it will happen.

Key point is the non-bvc IBS has a limit of 4.2v Do not exceed 4.2v
*minor nit: if a dummy cell (or spacer) is used, there are options. I have run my III-Pro ST on a single 16340 with a dummy (I was on a trip and took only 16340 cells).
