Pelican M6 2390 and rechargables ????

frisco · Aug 4, 2006

Any rechargable solutions for the Pelican 2390 M6 ?????
I tried the search function and came up with an error code.

Thanks, frisco

AW's 17670 Li-Ion batteries works well, that's what I use. The peli has a buck converter, so a pair of rechargeable CR123s should work too, but I haven't tried it.

you can try the 17500. i heard that the pelican M6 2390 have the spring TOOO long for comfort with the 17670 as they press on the cells very hard.

Two normal CR123s should stack to a length of 68mm (assuming they are 34 in length) ? So a 17670 should be ok as it'll be 1mm shorter. I guess manufacturing tolerences will throw this calculation off anyways but my M6 2390 does not squash my batteries at all. The Pelican M6 lithium OTOH, with it's stiff spring, really does squash those poor CR123s.

hmm...maybe my memory serves me wrong.

the pm6 2390 will work with 3.7v r123s.... in fact, i have some in mine right now, and have been using them for a while.... runtime seems right about at 40min- if i had to guess... my r123s are from lighthound, but they are the same as AWs. You wont be able to twist the tailcap all the way down, but it should cover the o-ring.

I use the Tenergy 3.0V and they work quite well with LED lights (but not with high current draw incandescents.

The Pila 600s or 17670's should work just fine. I use the 600s in my 2390. However, you'll get slightly less light --- about 90% of what you get from primaries, according to Quickbeam.

Have you noticed a reduced output with the Li-Ion battery? I sure haven't. I noticed that Quickbeam claims that the (regulated) M6 LED 2390 has reduced output with a 17670 battery, while the standard (unregulated) M6 LED doesn't. This seems backwards to me.

i would recommend using two r123s, because you are putting 7.4v into the LED, and that certainly puts out at least as much as when using primaries, and the circuitry can handle it.... using a single 17670 is underdriving the light.... 3.7v as compared to the normal 6.0v with primaries.

Anyone knows what the runtime is w/ 17670?
