Rechargeable CR 123A batteries for Surefire X300U

[rizzolo]

Hi,

I have recently bought a Surefire X300U and I was wanting to use rechargeables because CR123's seem like they will cost a lot over time. Looking on the Surefire website I can see that their non rechargeables are 3 volt but the rechargeable ones that I found from Nitecore are 3.7 volt (https://flashlight.nitecore.com/product/nl166). I was wondering if using these higher voltage batteries would damage the flashlight at all or if I should find ones that have a lower voltage. Any suggestions for batteries that would work better are much appreciated!

Thanks,

Alex

Those probably have too much Voltage. Surefire sells lower Voltage LiFePo4 123's for their LED lights:
