Don't want to cause any damage to this puppy. I got my RCR123's and I looked around a bit but couldn't find anything of substance. I could ask inova but I am sure I can get a quicker response here. Thanks guys.

Rdylite i also have a T3 and use RCR123's in it. It gets about a hour run time, but i carry an extra set with me. I use 3.0V Tenergy 900mAh. As i understand it the only drama comes when you try and use the 3.7V RCR

Hey, thanks guys. I think I will pop them in now. Gotta start saving dough for the next "big" light. hehe. I don't really go crazy like on the usage but i want to save my primary batteries for a time the charger is not available.

Be careful!!

Both of the responders above are using *3.0V* RCR123's which have an
onboard regulator to limit output voltage to 3.0V. Standard RCR123's have
a nominal output voltage of 3.6-3.7V, which can go up to 4.2V when fully
charged. I doubt that the INOVA X03/T3 will survive two fully charged
4.2V RCR123's.

FIP, I bought the tenergy 900mah RCR123. Will these work?
