What would be the disadvantage to using the 3.0V, less runtime than a CR123A (non rechargeable) less brightness in turbo mode, or none ?
When I had the 3.0V RCRs in an HDS U60 they couldn't deliver full current so the U60 stepped down. It wasn't due to heating up (due to over-voltage) because 3.7V RCRs worked fine. Also their capacity is only about 650 mAh.Yes the 3.0 volt RCR's will have less runtime for sure. I can't say if turbo would be less bright as I don't know the current draw but my best guess is yes it might be a little less bright.
I haven't tried them personally yet, but I heard and read good things about those
maybe someone can confirm?

I am using these Tenergy batteries in a Fenix P1D CE Q5 light. All modes work as they should. In turbo mode the light is about the same level as using 3,7 V. The only problem with the protected Tenergy batteries is that the protection kicks in from time to time. This happens both with fully charged batteries and later in the cycle. It is just to switch the light off and on and it works again.I haven't tried them personally yet, but I heard and read good things about those
