I just ordered an Xtar VP-2 charger, and I'd like to try out some LiFePO4 cells in my lights that take 16340 cells, but don't handle the higher voltage of LiCoO2 chemistry very well. I realize I'll be taking a big hit in terms of capacity, but in general I'm looking to use these lights around the house, so it won't be a problem.
Thing is, looking at the usual online flashlight vendors, the only such cells I see readily available for a reasonable price are Tenergy 400 mAh. I see some K2 cells on Amazon for ~$13, claiming 600 mAh -- which sounds like robbery and optimism, respectively. Doing some searches here, I see references to AW-branded LiFePO4, but that seems to be a thing of the past.
So, can anyone comment on the quality of the Tenergy cells? Any better options I should consider? Are the K2 cells really 600 mAh, and/or worth 4x the price of the Tenergy cells?
Thanks!
