I am totally clueless about rechargables (although I do use AA, AAA, C, D and 9v nimh rechargables)
What I need help with is the lithium type for use in surefire, etc lights.
I have 1, 2, 3 and 4 cell lights and want to purchase the longest running batteries I can get, something that would be as good, if not better than the "regular" batteries as well as safe.
Yes, I read all I could about batteries, but the more I read, the more confused I get!!
I will find what I think is right, then find another writing that messes me up, lol!!
What I need is rechargable batteries and a charger(s).
I have found Fifthunit to be very reasonable, but read bad things about the DSD charger.
I also want a charger that will charge more than 2-4 batteries if possible.
I have a charger for my "regular type" batteries and it is adjustable for different types and quantities, such as-
it will hold 1 AA in a slot, pull back the spring loaded end and it will hold 2 AA, then if needed, you can stack 2 more on top of those and there are several "rows" for more batteries.
What would be ideal is cr123 rechargables, all the same, but from what info I have gathered, this will insta-flash the bulbs, as the batteries are not "really 3v, but up to 4.2v, which would be great for my 1 cell LED lights, but not for my other, multiple battery lights.
With this in mind, do I have to use a different battery and charger for every light?
Also, I need a AA size battery that has the power of 2 AA batteries for my cut down Mag AA.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been trying to decide for weeks now, lol!!
Thanks in advance!
