New build, looking for rechargables

[Ryo]

I have 2 questions.
1. I'm looking for a single rechargeable 6V battery that's suppose to replace 2 CR123. I was looking at DX for the battery.. but couldn't really tell what would work.

2. I know there's a competing company to DX.. can't seem to remember their name, but remember that some prices were higher than DX. Anyone know the site?

Thanks

1: I'm not sure there is a 6v battery that replaces 2xCR123... There's the 18650 batteries which are double the length of a CR123, though they're only 3.6v.
2: http://kaidomain.com ??

the battery that replaces it is actually a 17670-- a 18650 is too short and fat

Yes.. Kaidomain is it. Thanks.

Hmm.. looks like the 17670 is only 3.6V. I need 6V for a Surefire flashlight..

how about 2 rechargeable CR123's that are each 3V = 6V total...

just an idea

do they make rechargable 3v?
i know they have 3v primaries and 3.6v rechargables, but i didn't think they mixed.

They do make rechargeable 3V-- fully charged it is 3.6 v
The 3.6v ones are fully charged at 4.2 v

Thanks guys.

I just found out from the distributor that the head unit can go up to 14V... Now I have no concerns about damaging it using the CR123A 3.6V NiMH batteries.
