Rechargeable CR123A for My New Light

[901-Memphis]

I just bought this.

The iTP A1 EOS LED Flashlight with XP-E Q5 LED

http://www.batteryjunction.com/itp-a1-flashlight.html


I bought a couple of throwaway batteries to go with it but i want rechargeable. What are the best ones out there? And what kind of charger should i be looking at, like a trickle charger?

Is this any good?

Trickle charge is a no-no for Lithium Ion rechargeables.

Well thats why i made the thread, what are the best chargers? Are the so called "smart" chargers the best ones?

That's because it's much more useful if you learn how to find your own info, rather than being spoon fed what's already out there.

only 4 hours after a question don't help. This is a forum, not a live chat room.

LoL, i know how to use a search function, this is not by far my first forum, but its not so easy when your overwhelmed with information on every post to find exactly what your looking for.

If someone was posting about a computer component i would gladly link them to www.Newegg.com

I am used to forums with hundreds of users online at a time, haven't been on one that takes that long in awhile. Have to forgive my impatience. But i guess i am making no friends here. Oh well

I believe someone was waiting for you to type your question in the search box yourself, and you would have had your answer instantly. No waiting required.

Well if you check my previous post you will see that i did google it myself and came up with what i thought would be the right battery, and all i asked for was if this was the correct model. I don't see the harm in that

I did some searching, are these the batteries i want?

CR123A Charger Needed

Going with 2 of the AW CR123a cells

http://www.lighthound.com/AW-RCR123a-Protected-750-mAh-Battery_p_114.html

Need to know what a good charger choice is.

I was thinking about the Ultrafire WF-139, but i don't like the idea of having to buy 2 separate spacers for a dedicated charger i am already buying.

Is this the best choice in this price range?

The only other one i considered was this ultrafire 123 charger.

Re: CR123A Charger Needed

If you buy that same charger directly from AW or from 4Sevens, it comes with the spacers.

Okay thanks, so this is about as good a charger as i can get for these batteries in this price range though?

Re: CR123A Charger Needed

In that price range, there really isn't any charger that stands out as being the best for 16340/RCR123.

I sold my WF-139 and now use a WF-138 for my 16340/RCR123 cells.
I have a different charger for my larger cells.

Well how much do you have to spend to get a decent charger?

Already answered that in your other thread asking for cells and a charger.

Re: CR123A Charger Needed

Pila IBC

Sure isn't "cheap" , thats a little out of my price range.

How about can you do any better than the WF-138 for around $20-25?

If i spend that much on the AW RCR123 batteries and get the Pila IBC, then i might as well buy a whole new flashlight
