    Fenix P3D and Lithium-ion Batteries

    I believe these are the rechargeable, high current, protected 123A's jumpstat referred to. However, the overdischarge protection specification is at 2.45 volts. .

    Fenix P3D and Lithium-ion Batteries

    I decided not to buy a P3D, which uses 123A batteries, and stay with AA technology. I received the following information from the manufacturer so I want to pass it on to the readers of CandlePowerForums. --------------- EMAIL FROM FENIX From: <[email protected]> To...

    Fenix P3D and Lithium-ion Batteries

    Could the danger of excessive discharge of an unprotected cell be sufficiently offset by load-testing each cell after charging to verify that they are reasonably balanced in voltage before putting them to use? After verification and insertion, if one cell indeed dropped to 0.1v, would it have...

    Fenix P3D and Lithium-ion Batteries

    Given that the manufacturer's website (fenixlight.com) now states, "Uses two 3V CR123A batteries (3.6*V~8.4V)", are we being told what the "min./max. voltage thresholds of the regulator" is? *[Edit note, 4/11/07: The manufacturer slightly changed the specification to read, "Uses two 3V CR123A...

    The response from Fenix was given by: Elly Fenix service team Apparently, 2 x 3.6v RCR123A cells will run on the P3D without harming the LED. Does the fact that the P3D gives a low battery warning mean that it is safe to run unprotected RCR123A's? Does a low battery warning mean that the...

    I sent the following email to [email protected] and got the response included farther below. --------------- EMAIL TO FENIX I understand that the P3D is designed for two 3.0-volt primary batteries and is not warranted to work with rechargeables. Will typical 3.0 volt RCR123's and 3.6/3.7...
