Does anyone know what is the maximum safe voltage to run the L1P v2.5 flashlight? I've scoured the forums with no success.
L1P v2.5 max voltage?

Fenix have never supported Li-ons in their AA/AAA lights.
I would stick with 1.2V NiMH, 1.5V alkaline, 1.7V Energizer L91 primary lithiums. There were problems with other no name brands of 1.7/1.8V primary lithiums (the batteries exploded).
Remember the L1P is an old light with a 1 watt emitter. CPF members who have successfully used 3.6V Li-ons in 1AA/AAA Fenix torches have done so with later lights that use 3 watt LEDs.

I'm not trying to use li-ion, but ni-zn batteries.
These batteries can be above 1.70v under a 1.5 amp load, so the lithiums AA's aren't quite representative of that since they drop to 1.5 under load quite easily.
