Are there any rechargable options for the A2? I think it may be my next purchase, and I was hoping for a rechargeable battery, also what seems to be the best or most liked color LED? Where is the best place to get one.

I got the new A2 and the battery sold by AW is 1-2mm too wide. I am also interested in others experience and suggestion to what could fit.

For general purposes, the white LED is the best route. Here's a great thread about what the different colors look like (as well as some mods) ...

In terms of the best place to get one, you could try B/S/T. Or try either Spyder Tactical Supply or OpticsHQ (see Dealer's Corner). This sticky has discount details:

It is at your own risk, and there is some risk. I have cycled Li-ions through my A2 150+ times with no ill effects. I would suggest that you purchase Li-ions specifically for your A2 and only use them for the A2; charge them exactly the same and check them with your ZTS or multimeter every so often. They need to be pulled from the A2 and recharged as soon as the regulation kicks out.
