[Kjosn]

So i want to get some Rechargeable Batteries, CR123,AA,AAA Batteries
I have looked at
Sanyo eneloop Glitter Color Rechargeable AAA
Sanyo ENELOOP XX Rechargeable 2500 mAh AA
Surefire LFP 123A Rechargeable Batteries

Are any of thees good?

No none of those are god... but the eneloops are good i have some double A's and i have no problem with them.

AA & AAA cells
- Duraloops (Duracell rechargeable batteries with White tops only. Basically re-badged Eneloops. These re-badged cells are often easier to find in B&M shops.)

RCR123 cells
- AW brand. By a country mile.

Basically I stick with Eneloops and AW. Best of the best.

RCR123 cells
- AW brand. By a country mile. .

Keep in mind the higher Voltage and make sure they are suitable for your application.

I'm using Surefire/K2 LFP123 batteries. So far one battery has last me 40+ days! Safe, more durable, more cycles. I'm very happy.

1. Sanyo eneloop Glitter Color Rechargeable AAA ( Good )
2. Sanyo ENELOOP XX Rechargeable 2500 mAh AA ( not good )
3. Surefire LFP 123A Rechargeable Batteries ( Good )

Sanyo eneloop Glitter is the second generation eneloop. Eneloop is also available in a third generation there is even better , but it's not available in USA yet , I think.

The Surefire Rechargeables , are in fact made by K2 energy. They are to the best of my knowledge , the best LFP batteris on the market ( better than AW and Tenergy ).

I don't have theese my self , I use Tenergy's. But according to other forum members they beats both the aboves in performance.

eneloop xx is in my opinion a bad performing , and unhealthy LSD battery. In fact, I don't consider it a true LSD battery at all. I would choose a real eneloop every time.
If I really needed the higher capacity, I would probably choose an ordinary NiMH cell , with even higher capacity.

Yup. Sometimes easy to forget to mention the difference in voltage between CR123 primaries and RCR123 rechargeables from AW. Thanks Norm.

Don't LFPs require a dedicated LFP charger? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

They do. But there are also some universal chargers available. You will have to set the right voltage for LFP/LiFePO4 before charging though.
Xtar MP2 will for example charge both normal LiIon , as well as LFP.
