RCR123 choices. Which one between Nitecore and Tenergy?

[Orion]

Looking to get a protected RCR123 [and charger] for my RRT01 and wanted to see which of the cells you would choose, between Nitecore and Tenergy.

Thanks for the input.

Or is it a "toss up" between these two brands? Do you have a "better suggestion"?

I use AW protected li-cos and naked IMRs, as well as some Kinoko IMRs and they seem to work well for me. I do use Tenergy Centura 9v LSD batteries and they've been fine for a couple of years, but I think that in the 16340 size, AW is still highly regarded.

I've been out of the rechargable options for some time. What is AW Li-cos and the naked IMRs? Thanks!

they all suck. there's no japanese/korean 16340 cell so they're all chinese, but the DLG produced cells don't seem to be too bad. so just choose based on compatibility w/ your particular flashlight coz the sizes vary a LOT

Can you all post some links for info? Thanks.
