Rechrage system canon cr123

[LoveCraft]

Hi all, i need some advice on this charging system.

Ive seen that canon makes a recharger for camera cr123 battery, do you think this would be fine for flashlights as well, i want to use them mostly in surefire e2e and pelican m6 led?? tell me what you think of it , any issues on size or volts etc OR should i just buy this one from http://www.batterystation.com/cr123a.htm

Email them and ask what the voltage is of the battery off the charger. My guess is 3.8V~4.2V. If thats the case then I wouldn't use it in those flashlights.

Is there a bit problem with a few more volts with flashlights??? like the normal cr123 is 3.6v so its only an increase of .4 to 1.2V. would it do THAT much damage???

Hello LoveCraft,

A CR-123 starts off at around 3.2 - 3.3 volts and quickly drops to under 3.0 volts under load.

A R-CR123 starts off at 4.2 volts and drops to 3.7 volts under load.

This results in blown lamps and circuits, but sometimes you can get away with it.

Do you feel lucky? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
