I use a pair of Surefire G2s (one with a Malkoff M60L and one with a stock P60L) at work. I use them with cr123a primaries until the leds drop out of regulation. At that point I change the batteries. So I have a large and growing pile of partially discharged 123s that I'm wondering what to with. They have a decent charge on them, so I'm hesitant to throw them away. I'm looking for ideas on what to constructively do with them.
What do you guys do with your partially discharged 123s?
One idea I had (feel free to call me an idiot, if this is crazy/stupid) is to simply buy another G2 (probably in a different color) and a Malkoff M30 and drop a pair of partially used CR123a primaries in it and run it until it drops out of regulation. Malkoffs website says the input voltage for the M30 is 1-5.5V, so partially discharged primaries would have a voltage less than 5.5V and therefore power the light. Would this work?
Thanks,
