I think that will be a great seller for them. Battery life is stated as 4-15 hours though so a bit of a hit. They are obviously boosting the voltage internally. Much cheaper cells though so swings and roundabouts

Yeah, though I guess their main use for in diving battery life is still more than adequate.

Would've been interesting if they took 10440s too but don't see that happening.

yea, i got to wondering if the lithium version could be powered on a cr123 lifepo4 rechargeable. they go about 3.2v under load so it might be possible. Potentially an expensive experiment though :D

Well their FAQ says the lithium versions will take 3v 3.2v and 3.6v rcr123s

Cool. a lifepo4 123 will be just the ticket then and ive a few already. Should make the lifetime costs much cheaper as ive heard the lithium eats power when on constant mode

I agree John. The cheaper one is fine on the 12v throw away batteres as they are cheap as chips. I can see this might get addictive. What colours did you go for this time?
