I assume it's intended to be powered by 6x 3.7v rechargeables, not the 3.0v version?

As per specification M6 using 6 x RCR123A Modified M3T/M4 using 3 x 18650 Rechargeable - or 3 17670.

:thinking:
even in LiFeB chemistry you don't get 3.0V from them...:candle:

Please do NOT use those 3.0V rechargeables on our lamps.
They are tested unsafe by us, it is very dangerous to use 3.0V rechargeables on high current output lamps. :thumbsdow
ONLY use protected 3.7V rechargeable batteries for our lamps.
Thank you.

Hello Mark@LF!
excellent safety point, but keep in mind that there are 2 different types of 3.0V rechargeable li-ion cells out there. The 3.0V li-ions you are more than likely referring to are the voltage regulated 3.7V cells, and I would entirely agree that they are not suitable for most flashlight applications. However, there is a new breed of cells based on a lithium iron phosphate chemistry that has no safety issues, that said, they still don't behave like CR123 primary cells, and there aren't any direct drive incan setups anywhere that are optimized for that voltage range, so the whole concept of using them can be dismissed anyways

OK, I think I know the answer to this question, but just to be sure...the HO-M6R will run just fine on 3 x 17670 cells in one of Fivemega's holders?

As I thought, and as I think I've read others here reporting - thanks for the confirmation!
Ordered cells and chargers today.
