I'm new here and was just reading a thread entitled: "Exploding Flashlights". The post, as well as a link, referenced that it could be dangerous to use CR-123A's in certain situations, and recommended that instead of using CR-123A's, use a rechargeable 16340 or 16650 instead. I might be going off the deep-end here but that post has me worried now.
So how would I know if the flashlights I own that use CR-123A's would accept a 16340/16650? And should I discontinue use of CR-123A's?
The ones I'm referring to are the Streamlight Scorpion and Polytac models. Both types use two CR-123A batteries.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
