Question about CR 123 batteries

[Marduke]

Lights are built for either AA's or 18650's, not both. They are vastly different cells. Quality cells are Panasonics, or AW brand. The best charger is a Pila IBC, but cheaper ones can be had (though less safe). I get free salvaged quality cells from old laptop battery packs. You can purchase cheaper cells from sites like Deal Extreme.

Just make sure you read up on Li-Ion safety prior to going that route.

What do you think of the solar force 3.7v 2400mah protected rechargeables that spark sells with their lights? The charger is only $10 so I know it's not that great but ehh. It works. So far.

I would put them in the same regard as any other cheaply made 18650 cell bought from various discount distributors such as DX.
