Rechargeable batt Question on TL-2

[MuleSkinner]

Hey folks I got a question on a streamlight TL-2. Would like to find some good rechargeables ( perfer pilas ) from a good dealer. Don't want to mod it if I can keep from it. Any advice is much welcome.

IIRC the most popular way to do that is to drop a bulb from a TL-3 in it and run a pair of 3.7V RCR123s, in the case of an incandescent, I suggest using a pair of IMR16340s from AW, as they will give you the best performance (output and discharge flatness) at this drain rate...

Get confirmation from a TL-2 owner who has done this to make sure the bulb swap I've suggested is compatible.

Thank you mdocod. Has anyone else tried this or have any other comments?

The Strion runs on li-ion at 3.6v. I've used a Strion bulb in a TL-2.

Thanks guys. I am kinda confused I went to www.pilatorch.com/images/PilaCompatibilityTable.pdf and looked at there compatibility for the TL-2 and it showed that the 600S or should fit. I then looked on the http://www.pilatorch.com/BatterySys_Batteries.htm and it says 600P or 600S. I got the 600P and it does not fit so is the 600S smaller? Guys I am not up to par or even understand alot of what is wrttien on these forums lol. So please be gentle http://www.pilatorch.com/images/PilaCompatibilityTable.pdf

Did you miss this in your second link?

Pila ¡§P¡¨ type batteries are mainly for Pila flashlights.
Pila ¡§S¡¨ type are reduced in diameter to fit majority of lithium battery (CR123A)

You need a 600S or protected 17670
You also need to replace the bulb with Strion bulb.
