rechargable 123's

rechargable 123\'s

Why doesn't anyone make these available that work in the Surefire high output Lumen flashlite's? From what I hear they don't have enough juice but there has to be a bulb/battery combo that would work well for the high output one's.

Has anyone looked in Radio Shack or any other supliers to see if it is possible to get a setup that recharges the used 123's? Thanks in advance.

Well you can read thru this post and the link at the end.

From what I've read, Surefire may or may not release some Li-ion 123s. I guess the problem may be with safely charging them. Nimh's are available for a high price and low runtime.

Of course if you're talking just of attempting to charge used lithium 123s, I haven't read about such a thing.

Thanks for the link geepondy,

Seems the fire/explosion risk is high and the rechargable 123's today don't cut it. Maybe down the road they will have something better come along. I guess the 10X from SF will be the current way to go for high lumens and renewable power source.
