350mAh? Each? Ouch. That's not going to last long.

Welcome to CPF BashK.
You are not the first to ask about using a rechargeable cell for their Surefire (or similar) light.
Unfortunately, it's not as simple as buying something that claims to be "3.0V rechargeable" and dropping it in your light.
If those cells you linked to are truly only 350mAH, then they can not be used to power up the lamp of the 6P safely. Unless they are LiFeP04 chemistry cells (which there is NO information about those cells indicating anything about what chemistry they are). At 350mAH capacity, you can expect about 15 minutes runtime, and a very unsafe configuration that could lead to the cell venting with flame. Or the cell might have built in protection from over-current, which would cause it not to work in a 6P at all...
If you really want to switch to a rechargeable solution in the 6P, you'll need to do a little reading and learning so you get the right stuff.
