I heard from someone that AW CR123 will not fit in the new Fenix P3D Q5. Can anyone confirm?
Will AW fit in Fenix P3D Q5

Not sure about the AW. I don't normally hear of sizing problems with them.
I do know that these: http://www.batteryjunction.com/uf16340.html
don't work. They're too long, not to mention poorly contructed.

I heard that it is too big to fit.

There are aftermarket tubes available for the P3D.

I`ve never met AW, but I guess he would be too big to fit inside a P3D. You would probably get arrested for trying. :laughing:

Appears that according to the user on the other thread the AW's do indeed fit and work fine.
I also heard that these fit and work fine aswell

Old blue ones do fit, if you remove the sticker, but they are bit hard to get out. New black ones are supposed to be a bit smaller...

AW RCR123's fit my Fenix P3D's just fine.

Been using AW's RCR123's (Black with label) just fine in my P3D R100. They drop in and spill out easily.

I used to own a P3D, and the black protected AW's 750mah R123a do fit nicely. I am sure Fenix uses the same bodies on the upgraded P3D Q5's so it should not be a problem......

Just tried 20 of P3D Q5 and found out that you have to insert AW protected from the head of the Flashlight. Very tight fit from the tail.

Try removing the sticky label on the the batteries, this should help.

I just got a P3D Q5 (new olive finish - quite nice!) and the Fenix Store is selling the AW cells & chargers, so I ordered it all through them. The new AW 123s fit perfectly, slip in & out, no rattle.
Charger makes a very slight whine, which I hope is normal. The LEDs flashed every few seconds, as noted in the dealer's thread, so I guess it's all good.
