Hi guys, looking at getting the Quark 123-2 in the near future. Might wait for the titanium version, but not sure at the moment. Anyway, looking at the specs for the light it says the voltage is between 3 and 9 volts, which is what you would get from 2 primary cells. Will it be ok running on 2 rechargeable 123s with 3.7 volt ratings that when fully charged are closer to 4.2v?

Thanks

Yup the 2 x CR123 Quark will handle 2 RCR123's just fine.
2 fully charged LiIon cells are 4.2 *2 = 8.4V so it's well within spec of the 3-9V driver rating.
4sevens is a smart flashaholic, he's got that covered.

The Titanium versions are limited and the pre-ordering is going on now. If you wait you may miss out on one.

Thanks for the quick replies guys! Dumb question on my part I guess, I was thinking that 2 cr123s at 3v each added up to 9??? Don't know what I was thinking, haha.
