I use P3D CE's.
I use only CR123 primaries, matching same manufacturer.
(and yes I know the warning about only using certain named cells)
I am wondering, as the P3D AFAIK does not work well down to 3v.
"The P3D head is a buck circuit with an input V of 6.0v-8.4v
The 'Low Battery Indication' function of the P3D will appear (flickers fast)
when the voltage is < 4.0 V at Turbo mode and <3.0-3.7 V at low mode."
I copied from somewhere.
Does this mean that if one CR123 cell became lower voltage towards the end of life, or even a fault condition, that I would get the low volt flickering warning, and could then dispose of both cells, with some safety.
And this would happen before any dangerous discharging of the good cell through the depleted cell ?
