Rechargeable Battery question?

sbninja · Mar 29, 2008

Hi all,
I recently bought a Surefire 6p and a Cree Q5 LED drop-in. I am thinking of getting a charger and rechargeable cr123 batteries from radio shack. would rechargeable cr123a have longer run times? Also will rechargeables effect brightness? (Newbie)
Thank's

:welcome: Most likely rechargeables (and you may want to verify your drop in can handle the higher voltage) will make it a bit brighter but usually runtime will be less than a primary. However if you carry a couple sets of rechargeables it is so much less expensive and with 2 sets you'll probably exceed the runtime of one set of primaries - and will save a bunch of money after even a few charges.

Thank you for the welcome

. Very cool forum!
The drop-in specs read 3.7V - 9V
450-600mA

Normaly Rechargeable Cells give less runtime but also they give higher output but over the long term they are guiltfree lumens so there you are, also rememba what matrix said make sure you check if they are compatiable with your light!!!

The guys are right... a little brighter and a little less runtime.

I've read good things about AW's RCR123s...I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a few of them myself.

:welcome: Hang on to your wallet!!!
