I have been looking for Cr123A 3V Li-Ion rechargeable batteries. I have scoured so many battery sites I can't stand it anymore. Does anybody on here know of a site that has CR123A batteries in over a 900mAh rating, but still staying at a 3v output? I don't want a 3.6-3.7V battery, I want the 3V (don't want to blow up my light). I just figured a lot of people on here building can lights might have a good resource for battery sources. The best one I've found so far is at all-battery.com, 900mAh 3V, set of 4 with charger for $30. Let me know if you find something better.

I just saw them at Thomas Distributing (http://www.thomas-distributing.com/delkin-rcr-123a-rechargeable-charger.htm). These are 3.15-3,25V, but more expensive than what you found at $9.97 each without charger. They only seem to have a charger that handles one battery at a time. Overall, the all-battery.com ones appear to be a better deal.

They specifically recommend AGAINST using rechargeable Li-ion CR123A's in flashlights with xenon bulbs due to reduced bulb life. If you get the ones from all-battery I'd love hear about your results. I'm tired of buying batteries even in bulk for our flashlights. CR123A's are one size I haven't been able to find a satisfactory rechargeable for.
