Hey guys, looking for a little help with the RCRs here =D

I'm looking for some rcrs to run in my Clicky when it finally arrives and my Malkoff'd C2, I've been looking at 3 different options from ebay, all are chargers which I've seen on Yank sites, but its more the batteries I'm worried about, all the Splodey cell stories around... I know they don't happen when you take a little due care, but still a little disconcerting.
Also whether to go the 3.7V, 3.0V, or 3.6V, the mah also I'm not sure about...
I know both my lights I mentioned can take these cells right up to the fresh of the charger 4.2V
Can someone plese give me a bit of advice, a little knowledge sharing about RCRs would help me greatly as well...

Can I get some opinions on these 3 options...

Moka, do yourself a favor, and get a Pila IBC charger, and some of AW's cells. Those batteries and chargers you reference, I'll be nice about it, really aren't very good. How do I know? You guessed it!

Down the road, I don't care if you thank me, but you'll thank yourself. :thumbsup:

Yup, stick with AW cells. I've tested many different brands of rechargeable 123 cells with my West Mountain battery tester and AW are the best and most honestly rated. I really like his new IMR 123 cells.
 
Second and third auctions are selling crap cells (Ultrafire = bad). The first one I can't say, but don't expect them to be very good.
If you want to get cheap cells that are actually any good, get the grey Trustfires from DX.

I agree 100%
I've tried the others and it was just a waste of time.
