Can you use non-rechargeable CR123 batteries in this?

You can but it would be stupid to do so. I use 1 protected 18650 and it works great. Extremely bright light. I have had mine for two years and use it for everything. Best light I have ever had

Hello J.Yes. The instructions say not to (voids the warranty) and I have not tried it yet, but in digging a little further I did find out that you can run primary lithium CR123 in your R-Pal. However, you definitely cannot run secondary (rechargeable) without frying the unit which would for sure void the warranty!

i just looked that flashlight up on amazon and it said it takes 2-cr123a or 1-... 18650 and that is the battery you are asking about ...so yes you can use that battery

I don't see why you couldn't--they're still batteries--but I can't say for sure. Packaging doesn't specify. I will have to try that.

I see no reason why you could not use rechargeable batteries in this lantern; however, I do not find a way to recharge those batteries while they are in the lantern. You'll have to remove them to recharge.

Yes you can use rechargeable batts. they last for a good period of time..I've been using. Rechargeable batts for a year and everything good.

I have not tried it and the product discription doesn't include the cr 123's in the list of batteries it charges. Hope this helps. Irwin

You can use rechargeable batteries, but there is no built-in rechargeable battery.

No. because out takes AA batteries, your only option is to purchase rechargeable batteries. That's what I did.

I'm not sure but it seems that the CR2 batteries are very similar in size and voltage to the cr123 batteries which is stated as acceptable.

The batteries are CR123 you can buy disposable or re chargable but the flashlight does not let you charge through the light so u wod have to get a wall charger

Yes, can use rechargeable batteries, but I purchased a rechargeable battery box:Stealth Cam 12V Battery Boxwhich lasts more than a month at a time, is rechargeable and has made maintaining batteries much less hassle

I don't believe so. You can pick up a cr2032 battery anywhere. It's a common one

I'm sure you can use rechargeable batteries as long as they are correct size. I use mine for a while and due to climate and salt water air exposure, I remove the batteries when it's not in use. battery bleeding acid will corrode the connections. You don't want to leave batteries unattended in any unit for too long.

Yes you can also use a AA battery although its not quite as bright and I've never tested it but I don't think the battery life is as long as with CRs.

As long as you can find non-rechargeable batteries of the correct size. Some of these lights use unusual size batteries are something that I have only seen in a rechargeable format.

No, mine had standard AAA batteries. I presume you could put rechargeable batteries in and then remove them for recharging but recharging with batteries in situ is not an option.Mark
