rechargable 123 for SF Saint Minimus

[MK9]

I think this would be the correct spot for this question.

What rechargable 123 battereis will work well in the SureFire Saint Minimus?

You'll kill it with Li-Ions without a doubt. The HS2 only has a boost regulator and can't handle >3v properly. I think the LiFePO4 3.2v batteries should be alright.

I think the LiFePO4 3.2v batteries should be alright.

I haven't tried it, but I expect you'd only get about 30 minutes of runtime on high.

Thats not surprising. Most rechargeables I've come across have only a fraction of the capacity of the primary cell in that same size.

IMO the 10lm or just above is plenty when you need some extra light. I don't really need to use the high on mine that much...
