Hello,
I am currently making a large purchase of rechargeable batteries and charging units for my various AAA, AA, CR123, 16650 and 18650 lights, including:
Armytek: (2 x AA) Partner, (1 x 18650) Predator, (1 x 18650) Viking
Four Sevens1 x AAA) Preon 1, (2 x AAA Preon 2), (1 x 16650) Quark 16L, (2 x AA) Quark 2A
Klarus: (1 x AA) x XT1A, (2 x AA) XT2A, (1 x 18650) XT2C, (1 x 18650) XT11, (1 x 18650) RS11
Surefire: (1 x CR123) EDCL-1T, (2 x CR123) EDCL-2T, (2 x CR123) Tactician.
Streamlight: (1 x AAA) Microstream, (2 x AAA) Stylus Pro, (2 x AAA) Stylus Pro Reach, (2 x AAA) Stylus Pro 360, (1 x AA/CR123) Protac 1L-1AA, (1 x 18650) Protac 2L-X
For my work and EDC, I own a significant number of Surefire handheld (EDC 1/2 LT & Tactician) and weapon lights (X300V, XH35, XH30, XC1/2, X400 Ultra, M300 V Mini Scout, M600V Scout, M300 Scout, M600 DF (the M600 DF being the only which accepts 2xCR123 or a 18650).
I am looking at the NiMH GP Recyko+ Pro for my AAA and AA batteries, I bought some with my recent Fours Sevens lights, and seem to be recommended.
Where possible, I would like to avoid using rechargeable 2 x CR123s due to potential issues, however aside from the M600 DF, the Surefire lights cannot accept an 18650 battery.
Questions
1) Which rechargeable CR123s will work across my 1 xCR123 Streamlight and Surefire lights - will any do or do they need a particular output?
2) Aside from CR123s, which rechargeable battery will work in a 2 x CR123 only Surefire - will a 16650 provide a decent output or is it better sticking to CR123s?
3) Which rechargeable CR123s are safest to use in a 2 x CR123 format?
4) Which 18650 batteries would best serve my lights?
5) Which charger would provide decent capacity, feedback on cell health and would best serve precise charging for 2 x CR123s to be used without issue?
Many thanks for your help!
