I have some used CR123's I'm going to use up on a E1/KL1.
I checked the voltage of each battery with a volt meter thinking the higher voltage ones would be the better ones to use.
I found that some of the batteries measured a higher voltage on the meter, but when put in the E1/KL1 that light went into moon mode.
For example I had one that measured 2.8 and the KL1 was in moon mode. Then I had one that measured 2.4 and the KL1 was at full brightness with that cell in it.
I'm preaty sure my meter is working ok. Should I be using a resiter to put a load on the battery when cheching them for voltage with a meter?
How do you check your CR123 batteries?
Does anyone make a battery checker that works on CR123 batteries?
Thanks,
