These are lovely rechargeable Li-ion batteries in CR123A format. This is the best for heavy duty eletronic devices like camera flash, flashlight, etc. However, since the 3.0V CR123A when fully charged will result in 3.8V, and 3.6V CR123A when fully charged will result in 4.2V, you have to make sure if your electronic devices can handle the extra power. We indicated the flashlight CR123A compatibility specification each of the flashlight product page for your conveience.
Pros: Bought a pair to use in a flashlight, charging with nano charger. They worked, but they did not produce the same brightness. Then I bought SKU 19627 and had better and more consistent results (SKU 19627 produces brighter light than the better one of these). NONE HAVE LEAKED/CHANGED SHAPE/EXCEED VOLTAGE LIMITS.
Cons: I can watch the charge on the batteries, but after a while I got tired of worrying about shorting/over-discharging them.
Other Thoughts: They smell. Nothing strong, but may indicate some leak.
Bottomline: Go for SKU 19627.
Pros: They are cheap.They have worked for many months for me nowThe colour is nice.You can put 4 of them together to get enough power to overdrive a 14v xenon quite nicely. (Whiter light!)
Cons: I bought 8, 3 of them leaked, won't hold charge, or looked like they would explode anytime soon, or all of them. DX luckily sent me 4 cells, all of them worked just fine.Not protected! (Might be good if you can take care with the cells and use high-power xenons)
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Cheap cells, get better ones if you want quality. But as I just use these in flashlights it doesn't matter.
Pros: Best Bang for the Buck! Can't beat these at this price. I rec'd 1000 Mah instead of the ones pictured. Same purple casing. In my 11836 R2 drop in; I have timed over 62 minutes on my hike with the set fully recharged and at the end of the hike it will still read 3.62 volts each. Have not tested for total runtime but would guess at least 90 mins which is great for RCRs at this price!
Cons: No cons at this price. If they go bad or you overdischarge them by accident... grab a new one. I ordered 5 packs of 2 (10) for spares in case they go out on me. Why buy disposables at this price?
Other Thoughts: If they go bad or you overdischarge them by accident... grab a new one. I ordered 5 packs of 2 (10) for spares in case they go out on me. Why buy disposables at this price?
Bottomline: If you don't care about watching for overdischarge or do not have a flashlight that warns before overdischarge occurs than go for protected cells. However, at this price, I'd just trash them for those accidental times.
Pros: -Cheap in price, but seemingly not in quality.-3.6v Lithium rechargeable, 1000mAh(at least thats what they say).-Last a long time in my Cree Q5 light (which I would consider a pretty high drain device). -Pretty pastel lavender color.
Cons: -Not 'protected' cells.-No flashy graphics (that make it look like it can go fast).
Other Thoughts: I have had no problems with these being unprotected cells. My charger cuts off before they overcharge, and my light cuts off before they over-discharge.
Bottomline: Buy these awesome light purple batteries!
