Hi, I just purchased a Novatac 120p. Can anyone reccomend a good battery charging system (rechargeable batteries and charging dock) for this light?

I live in Malaysia and the standard currency voltage here is 220v, so it'd be ideal if the dock could handle 110-220v currents.

Thank you so much!

Howdy pltan, and welcome to CPF,
Congratulations on your purchase of the NovaTac 120P. I've had mine in my pocket all day everyday for well over a year now. I'm sure you will enjoy yours.

Here is a link to CPF member AW's sales thread for both the correct batteries AND an inexpensive multi-voltage charger:

You will probably want at least 2 of these:
Protected R123A ( 750 mAH ) ----- $ 6.00 each

As far as chargers go..... you might want to investigate a bit more over on the Electronics, batteries included forum:

However, AW sells this charger for his excellent batteries:

Total cost for that setup would be somewhere around $30-35, which would include 2 batteries and the charger.

Here is an even better alternative charger which is a bit more expensive, but certainly worth it if you will be using a lot of rechargeable lithium-ion cells:

I'm pretty sure that is also a multi-voltage unit, and would highly recommend it over the W-139 if you can afford it.

In any case, before you buy ANY lithium-ion batteries, please take a few moments and read a bit of the valuable information on the following site so that you can understand a few of the precautions about using these types of batteries:

Never leave your lithium-ion batteries charging unattended.

Ok, have fun and enjoy your new light!
