I previously included the Sonar in an order, but cancelled it when I found out that it uses CR123 batteries. I was under the impression that these are expensive and somewhat uncommon. I also heard that the rechargeable ones are the wrong voltage for use in these lasers.
Anyway, I'm still wanting one. I wanted to wait until WL decides to make the Sonar compatible with 18650's, but this will probably never happen.
So I'm wondering if anyone here has had experience with the Sonar yet. Has anyone tried using rechargeable CR123's in one of these? I don't want to kill the diode or simply have the laser not turn on.
Also, does anyone know of a good brand of rechargeable CR123's available from Amazon or some other reputable retailer so I don't have to order from some shady company in China? In addition, I have heard that not all CR123's are the same size, so I'd need a brand that is known to fit in the Sonar's host. I'm also looking for a reliable CR123 smart-charger.
Any information you have is appreciated.
