Just be careful standard non rechargeable CR123a batteries are 3V while rechargeables are 3.7V, I always use standard non rechargeables in NV gear. The higher voltage has been known to damage NV.

phoenix Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 As Andybrock says Non rechargeable lithium are 3 volts (and about 1450mah) Rechargeable lithium ion are 3.7 volts nominal but up to 4.2 volts when freshly charged (and not more than 650mah) A possible alternative is rechargeable lithium phosphate (LifePO4) which are 3 volt nominal and up to 3.3 volt fully charged (and not more than 650mah) - but needs a specific charger http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2pcs-Etnesan-13500mAh-CR123-3V-Lithium-rechargeable-Battery-DL123A-CR17345-/391283718511 Cheers Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
