What type and brand of batteries is everyone feeding their Arc6's?
Experiences with output power and runtime are very welcome! :)

Just tried some AW RCR123's and they seem to work nicely on L7.
Powerizer's seem to drain up real quick. AW's have a slightly higher nominal capacity, but the protection kicks in much sooner, so i'll see how that will turn out.

Yep. Realized that after a while.
They work fine for the first few minutes after being taken off the charger.

After that L7 becomes unusable due to the absurd current levels required.
Other levels work fine, though...
