can i use nimh in this light? like energizer,eneloops, or duracel rechargeables?

thanks

Sure can!

 

[american]

ok cool i know some lights will get damaged by these, thank you

you can use any cell combination as long as Vin < 4.2V.

so 2x14500 =

I am surprised no one has modded the AA extension to make a 1x17670

 

[american]

ok cool is that a general rule?

Probably not. Put it this way... I have never seen the N3 used at a higher voltage than 4.2V, and I myself have never tried it... so there is an element of risk.

 

[american]

well that shouldnt be a problem ive never had anything besides aa alkalines,aa heavy dutys,aa lithiums, nimhs

It works on each of these cells + CR123A and RCR123A ones.

 

[american]

well it only fits one cr123 battery.

 

[vali]

Sorry for not being clear enough.

That light can take

Option 1) 2xAA cells as long as they are not lithium rechargeables
Option 2) CR123A or RCR123A cells.

You need to add the included extension tube to convert from CR123A mode to 2xAA mode.

yes i know i have the light lol. but how can you get the light to run at 4.2 volts in the first place?

A fully charged RCR123 will be right at 4.2 volts.

 

[american]

oh ok sorry i dont have experience with all these fancy batteries, im used to aa and d still lol. i thought you were saying you could put 3 cr123 in the aa extension tube or something and that would short it out.
