Should work fine. CR123 cells are specified, and if thats what they are, no worries.

the energizer package mentioned that it replaces CR123

is it ok?

i was going to laugh when i saw the title. but hey, cr123 and cr123A are the same thing ok?

rcr123/rechargeable li ion cr123 are the ones that will blow the l4 up :)

I bought some Energizer cr123 cells of botac.com and so far everything looks good. They are 1 dollar each and sell by the 20 pack. Now if only I can find cr2 energizer batteries at that cost.

I strongly advice against! those energizer lithiums are the most expensive in the market! like $10 a pc!
for SF and other flashlights get those cheaper bulk CR123, like battery station or surefire brand. save $$$!!

Rollee, energizer lithiums may be expensive if you buy them retail. They are available for $2 apiece (sometimes less) online. Regardless of price, this thread was not about price, it was about suitability. Let me reiterate that there is nothing wrong with using energizer lithiums in an L4. For some, energizer batteries are worth their price premium. Energizer cells provide more energy per cell and appear to be better safety-wise than the private label Chinese brand cells.

As always, make sure that both batteries are same brand, same batch and both in the same state of discharge (preferably new) before you put them into your light. Additional testing with a ZTS/Ansmann and a voltmeter would also be prudent.

What'd you say the name of that website was? Botac.com gets me an online plastic surgery site dealing with Botox and such. I'm interested in finding those $1 energizers, can you remember which site had them?

Since it was a battery question, it was moved to the appropriate Forum, but since you've posted the question here again - I'll go delete it.

Please review the list of Forums and pick the most appropriate one before posting in the wrong ones.

Right here....
FYI: go to the Jeers section, and do a search on Botach Tactical,

They are nothing short of legendary for, ahem, 'screwing people over' (and over, and over....) in as many ways as possible.

'Nuff said.....
