Re: Eagletac D25 Clicky Series Round-up Review (D25C, D25A2, D25LC2 - XM-L & XP-G)
It also says read here for Li-ion 3.7V and refers to the disclaimer and recommended suggestions on how to operate if you use a Li-Ion 3.7V.
* Using 4.2V li-ion direct drives the LED and yields maximum output at the expense of extensive heat generated from the LED. Limit each usage to less than fives minutes (or less than one minute each with freshly charged li-ion for the first couple times). Active cooling (blowing cool air toward the light) or passive cooling (holding the light in your hand) helps preventing excessive heat built at the LED. Turn off the light to allow it to cool down if you find the flashlight too hot to hold. Do not leave the light running unattended with li-ion. During direct drive, output at low and medium mode will be higher than normal.
Leads me to beleive their maximum voltage statement is kind of confusing and misleading, but it's not the first time EagleTac has made false statements or typos on the web site.
Ive read they do support Li-Ion 3.7V when I was debating on buying the DC25A. not sire how it would work if you went with a 3.3V LIFO rechargeable instead. It might not heat up as much for the first couple power ups like a charged Li-Ion at 4.2V. But also may not run in direct drive mode either.

Ok, I'm a bit confused. RCR123's I've seen 3v and 3.7v. The D25c specs says operating voltage upto 3.2v. Now I'm even more confused. Which do I buy and use.
