Rechargeable Li-Ions for Sure Fire

[Mister T]

I don't know whether this has been posted before or not but they are here. Follow the link and have a look

http://www.ph-import.com/x755/surefire22.html

Unfortunately the link is only German but i think that you will understand it. There is one set available for the 2 cell lights with one 3,7V cell and an new lamp assembly (80 lumens) and 50min runtime. The other one is for the 3 cell lights and contains 2 accus. No lamp assembly has to be changed and the runtime is 50min too. Both come with a 3 hour charger for 2 cells.

I JUST wanted to post this! I saw this this evening! What a coincidence...

It seems that they are 3,7V batteries, and that you will need therefore a different LA which gives you 80 Lumen.

Seems a little overpriced:€124.
For 1 battery, charger +LA.

500 times rechargeable. Would save you 500 X 223 (or 1000 X 123's). Still cheaper to use the rechargeable LiIon.But seems still expensive.

They say nothing about a the special spare LA, how much a replacement will be and wether it is a SF part or not.

Does anybody have further experience with those batteries?

BTW, welcome to the CPF Mr T!

I can't understand most of the page, but can anyone figure out anything about charge capacity, and whether there's circuitry built into the batteries?

Hello,
I have this replacement but diameter of battery is little bit bigger than normal DL123.
Battery have built in protection electronic.
Flashlight Wolf something is rubish. We were used for short time and lens were burn out !!!!!! really under temperature from flashlight come out and you can see big hole. There is not easy replacement. Also in order to change bulb it is necessary to make this with patient due to construction. The only worth things are lamps and battery.

You can always translate the page to english so you can understand it here: http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en

It converts to about $64 US if I am correct?

 

[Mister T]

No, 124€ are about $124.

 

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Wow that is expensive. I used Google's currency exchange program and it came up with $64 U.S. But since your there, I'll take your word for it. I was going to order a couple kits at $64 but for $124, forget it! That's 200 DL123's!

Here is a cheaper place for them...
Wargamer shop

Charger
Click on the "last page" button to see more Wolf-Eye chargers + flashlights.
Price is US$60.- The accu's are 3.7V 1400 mAH for US$22.- or 1800mAH for US$26.-

Bart, I don't see the 1800mAH version. Is it the Copia LRB-168A ? I'm thinking of trying it with the KL1 + E2e + 1800mAH Li-Ion. The Copia LRB-168A shows at $26. I wonder if they will sell me 2 Copia LRB-168A with the charger instead of the Copia LRB-168B(1400mAH)

here are some more infos:
the lamp alone costs ca. 19 € (19$)
the li-ion accu costs 49 €

now you can get a whole flashlight (SF 6p look-alike) for 150€.

Yeah it is the LRB-168A . I made a typo quoting the price, sorry.

I bet it would make a very nice combination with the Li-Ion battery.

 

[Ron Schroeder]

Hi,

How much bigger? The i.d. of my E2 is 17.3mm. Would it fit? I am using a KL1 on the E2 so voltage is not a problem. In fact I am already usin a L-ion cell in it with protection circuitry that I made.

I wrote the company and this is what they said about discharge protection.

Dear sir,
I am sorry, I don't think the LRB168A have a discharge protection
function......
168A & 168B was difference, the length was similar...but the diameter was
difference, it 's for 2 difference type of flash light!!

We wish you Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Many thanks

That is correct. I use 3 li-ions to run my cyan 5 watt with a resistor. I have to recharge them regularly to prevent them from being ruined. I would have bought them if the protection was incorporated.

 

[robo]

Maybe you should write to Copia... On the website you can see photos from the batteries where you can read "built-in protection circuitry" on the batteries shrink-wrap...Bob123 said the same at the top of this Post.......

 

[Glow Bug]

You are right. After digging a little deeper I found this..."

"Copia Photoel Technology Co.,Ltd. created a milestone of one cell lithium battery application with the patented LRB-168A One-Cell Li-ion Rechargeable Battery with Re/Discharge Controlling & Protecting Circuit" - Copia

Here is that link>>>

I'm trying to buy the 6v kit and a couple of batteries but I haven't gotten an invoice yet. I placed an invoice request 2 days ago. Hmm...

 

[Wolfen]

No run down protection? I thought that the li-ion battery is ruined by being run down too far and by over-charging.
