I have a Nuwai TM-301X-3 that i got recently and have been using panasonic cr123a batteries from Circuit city and it works great. but i was wondering if it is possible to use rechargables in it?
Blindasabat said:I used RCR's in mine for a while, but it may have melted some solder inside as the resistor came loose when I dropped it (a very short distance) just after turning it off.
It seemed to work well until then, but then I tore it down to find a K Vf bin LED inside. If you get a lower bin like H or J, you risk blowing the LED. Take it apart and verify the Luxeon star's bin code. If the fourth letter is a K (mine is an SX1K), you may be OK, any lower, and I would not do it. I do not guarantee it, you may have to resolder something at some point even if it is a K bin.
