Hello all, this is my first post on CPF, so hopefully it's a good one!
I am fairly new to the whole headlamp/flashlight scene, so I figured that I would need a solid first headlamp. I decided to go with the Spark ST6-500CW due to the numerous positive reviews I've read about it. Now comes the slightly more complicated part. I need something to power it!
I read lots of positive things about AW's batteries, but when I searched around, I couldn't figure out if they were compatible with the Spark headlamp, so my question to the forums would be:
1) Are AW's rechargeable CR123s compatible with the Spark ST6-500CW?
2) Can I use 2 CR123s? If I am doing this correctly, two 3.7v CR123s in series would amount to 7.4v. Is that safe to do?
3) (slightly unrelated to post) How long does it take for AWs batteries to ship to the states?
Thanks guys, I hope to learn a lot and gain some experience from being here!
