This is actually a good idea. My P2D Had a similar issue where it would not switch on, and it turned out it was because the retaining ring had come loose. It had started to get flakey before it quit switching on though. Fenix has a youtube video that shows how to check the retaining ring here:

Glad to help, the P3D is a nice light, I have one myself. Have you seen the Fenix PD32 and PD35? Both of these will run on an 18650 battery.

A 18650 is a high capacity rechargeable that is a little bigger than two cr123's, is about 4.2 volts fully charged and will run about as long or longer than cr123's in the pd32. Surefire, Panasonic, and Duracell are good 123's, and can be bought at reasonable prices at several venders online. I bought 4Seven's 123's from foursevens.com and they are known to be good. You probably want to avoid most batteries made in China.

18650's won't fit in the P3D. Amazon has many vendors, good and bad, Panasonic, Panasonic rebrands, AW, Eagletac and Fenix make good 18650's from what I have read.
An AW 17670 should fit your P3D but you will probably lose turbo mode but would get better runtime on the lower modes than with two RCR123 rechargeables.
