Hi flashaholics,
I want to buy a KL1 with a Vital Gear FB3 and I want to know if it is possible to run the light with three RCR123 batteries (3,7-4,2 each). Will the chip handle the high voltage? Will this use damage the light (perhaps over a long time, or at once:mad:) ? I would prefer the FB3 because of the "backup-AA-use" and the KL1 seems to me like a longthrow LED module (I like that:grin2:).
Thanks for your information and excuse my bad English.

I think max voltage for the KL1 is 9 volts. You'd be better off with 2x 17500 rechargeables if you want to keep the 3 cell form factor.
