I have a Surefire 9P and a G2. I would like to use the P90 bulb in my G2. Would rechargebles work and if so where do I get them ?
lcpltac said:The P90 won't run off two CR123 primaries, or at least mine didn't. Rechargables seem to come off the charger at 4.2v and when running at 3.7v so there's enough to run the P90 at reduced lumens. Won't even get a glimmer out of a P91 though.
nzgunnie said:My P90 runs fine on AWs protected 123s. Light output is not much less than on 3 primaries. I'm not sure on runtime either, since I recharge often. Probably about 25 minutes?
nzgunnie said:Yes, they certainly are.
InfidelCastro said:I wouldn't recommend it in the G2, I would do it in a 6P instead, because of the pyrex lens and extra heatsinking ability of a metal body.
leukos said:I prefer a nitrolon body over an aluminum one for this setup. Firstly, the nitrolon is more durable and is not as cold to the touch in the winter, nor does it get as hot as a aluminum does after being switched on for 15 minutes. Secondly, an incandescent does not need heatsinking ability, that is primarily the need for LEDs. A UCL lens or even a SF pyrex window can be purchased for the G2, which I would recommend if you will be using the P90 for extended periods of time.
I use them with a Wolf Eyes 9v lamp in my Maxfire. I have to double click the switch for it to work. Other than that though, it works great.I bought one of AW's protected R123A kits with charger and these batteries would not power the P90?
