Perfect excuse for a back up light! If my CR123 dies, I can just use my other HDS for any unfinished feline location duties.

It really needed to be a multiple choice as I have two and use them differently.
In this case I had to vote for the one I use more power in, the 2xAA, and I go for NiMh not Alkaline. So for the highest power use, it has rechargeable cells.
The other one is more of a standby light and its super low output is what I use the most. So for this it is CR123 as the shelf life is very long and with no protection circuit, can be drained very very low. In this light, using it the way I do, a CR123 is lasting upwards of three years, so I'm OK with them being primary. Bearing in mind rechargeables age, even though it might be better to use a rechargeable cell, if that cell is only charged two or three times in ten years, was that better than 2 or three primaries?
You spotted my major affliction.:laughing:..................depends on how good your imagination is
Keep a rechargeable 123 in the light, but a primary spare in the holster.
At a certain point you have to choose between taking a battery with a half charge or leaving it at home. Or having a full spare.
You are missing "both" in the poll.
Sometimes when I'm traveling, I do not want to bring a charger with me.
that makes sense, I dont carry a regular charger either, I carry batteries with built in chargers.

Olight Universal charger for any battery, either Eneloop or Liion that needs charging if it lacks the USB feature on the battery.
One CR123 as a last resort backup.
Plus a spare light, as a spare 16340 battery carrier or backup light
The Olight Universal Charger works fine imo.How do you like the Olight charger? I've been debating getting one. I started a thread about it and the Nitecore LC10 looking for input.
