Newbie question time! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'd like to go rechargeable instead of buying 2 new 123's everytime. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

The Pila 168S fits in and works in a Pelican M6 LED, though with some loss of intensity.
Let's get some measurements here...

630,000mcd with two CR123A cells.
210,000mcd with one Pila 168S cell.

Both of these cell types have prior unknown usage on them, so I cannot vouch for the meter readings here. But I can guarantee you that the rechargeable cell will read significantly lower than the disposable cells.

PM6 LED isn't really the right light for that. Of course you could install a BB650 (or whatever) McModule and then use a Pila 17650 (whatever they call it) and you'd have a much nicer light than the stock PM6. But it would cost a lot by comparison.
