Which Li-ion 123's fit the Nitecore Extreme?

I've read one review that the AW's fit nicely without any sticking, and the ultrafire ones are a little snug.

Which brands have you been using?

I'm using AW protected 750 mAh cells.

I also tried an 880 mAh 16340 by UltraFire but it is too long and you get some eerie noises from the light if you try to screw down the head completely. :shakehead

Ditch the stock body, and use whatever you want.

I'm currently using and AW "C" cell. It looks ridiculous, but you can't beat the runtime.

I'll try to take one this afternoon. Need to figure out where my wife put the camera first...

Like I said, looks ridiculous...





...but probably gets three or four hours of max output per charge.

LOL ..... You must get some mega runtimes on that baby :thumbsup:

absolutely NO RCR123's work in mine - not the new AWs or any others I have.

That's odd, care to explain a little more? :thinking:

Indeed, that's odd. Care to clairify?

So far the only problem I have had is with Battery Station Li-ions.

They fit OK but on a user -> max transition (i.e. tightening when on in user mode) the light goes out.

I think it may be a problem with the shape of the +ve contact on the battery.
