I bought some generic rechargeable 3v lithium batteries on ebay for my surefire, I put them in after charging them initially and the bulb turned on for a second then went. I"m not sure if it’s blown or even if I should use these batteries again. Any ideas?
I don’t want to spend $12 on a pair of duracell 3v123a lithium batteries just to find out either, I’m not that rich.
Alice, your answer was pathetic,
the link you sent gave a saving of only
$1.02, hardly a match to my alleged "rip off".
Lithium-ion batteries CAN be used in Surefire flashlights, so you CAN be sure what I put in mine, I detailed it out pretty clearly.
Next time you go to answer a question, read it first, leave your condescending and patronising generic thoughts in your childish little head and please don’t answer any of my questions in the future.

Lithiums are not rechargeable. Lithium-ion batteries are, but that’s not what goes in a Surefire.

So, not really sure what you put in your light.

In any case, $12 for a pair of batteries is a rip off.

You can get them for half that here:
