I'm after a little bit of advice. I've ordered myself a Sunwayman V10R and I'm a little unsure on batteries.
It uses a single CR123A but I noticed these come in various voltages 3V and 3.7V. I presume there is no problem using either in the torch as it has a working voltage of 0.9~4.2V.??
The other thing is I can get a small extension to allow me to use a single AA battery (at around half the light output) does this mean I could use a 14500 battery with the said adapter?
Finally is there any benefit in using a 14500 over a CR123A? I'm just trying to work out what batteries/charger would be best to buy.
Thanks in advance![]()
It uses a single CR123A. all CR123A's are 3v, the 3.7v ones are actually "RCR123A" or better described as 17340 Li-Ion rechargeable cells.
The AA extender would indeed allow you to use a 14500 Li-Ion, but you wouldn't see any benefit over using a 17340, their capacities are usually identical and it would also make the light a fair amount longer.
If i had a V10R (and i hope to get a V10R-Ti soon) i would just run it on CR123A primaries for the peace of mind.
It doesn't hurt that i have a whole case of them.
