Found these batteries call DELKIN DEVICES RCR-123A Rechargeable Battery & Battery Charger Set. I wonder if the 3.15~3.25V voltage per battery will blow my M2 P60 bulb? And how about he Luxeon surefires? I am intending to use it on SF-U2 too. TIA.

For the link of the store, it is here

They wrote this on the end of the page :

" Even though the rechargeable CR123A batteries can be used in most devices, cameras, flashlights, and other equipment which use standard CR123A batteries, we do not recommend their use in SUREFIRE or STREAMLINE brand flashlights. Bulb damage is possible due to the fact that rechargeable CR123A batteries have a little higher voltage than regular CR123A batteries. The bulbs of these flashlights are designed for regular CR123A batteries and usually will not last very long when used with the CR123A rechargeable battery. Use at your own risk. "

My advice : Forget 'em !!! :thumbsdow If you want to drive your SF U2 with rechargebles, you can use protected 17670, AW sells them with charger for few money:
