MX Power 3 Cree questions?

[ledebuhr1]

Im looking at getting the MX Power 3 Cree from Deal Extreme. Can I get a rechargable battery for this? perferably Li-on. Or is there one another similar light that comes with a recharging base and batteries.
For thoes that have this, is it as bright as they say? or not any brigher than other flashlights?

Yes this can take rechargeables. Yes this is a very bright light. Expect about 400 lumens.

From the same place you buy the light. Just make sure to get the 3.7 volt ones.

Be very careful with multiple LiIon cells - go for good quality protected cells e.g. from AW.
See 'problem' with non-protected in a similar light - Unprotected RCR123s explode in flashlight

Just got one. It is particular about batteries. Works great on new Aw Rcr123, Will not work at all with "old" (blue cover) Aw batteries.

They should work, you'll need 4 though.

Thanks,

But Im looking for a good set of rechargables perferably Li-ion. It seems that the Li-ion have less capacity than the others.
Can I buy a 4-pack of rechargables and a charger? I need 3.6v ones?
thanks
