SF E1L and rechargeables?

[bondr006]

Does anyone know if the SF E1L CREE can take an AW 3.7v? I put one in a fresh one and the light flashes a slow strobe, so I took it out. Thanks for the help.

I thought it could...... but sounds like yours doesn't like it.
How "fresh" was it, like 4.2V off the charger or settled down after 20 min to true 3.7?

Do not use the 3.7v RCR123 cells...
