Has anybody tried these in a Maglite MAG-TAC? I'm concerned with voltages of 4.2 instead of 3.0 needed in the MAG-TAC.

this item is special made for chinese made lights, so I would not try to use them in a mag light , also since the mag lite is a great light but very sensitive to voltage and such ! Best regards Rick Brin

I burned out the LED on my $60 Pelican flashlight with these battery - Not worth taking the chance IMO

I safely used them in a streamlight with no issues.. the streamlight takes 2 CR123 batteries and these worked great in their place.. If I had a MAG-TAC I would test these out and if I ever purchase one I will update this!! I am not scared to try! HAHA

These are 3.6vdc. Under a load, it should drop to around 3v depending on the load. If your flashlight required 2 cr123 batteries then, your flashlight required 7.2vdc however, with that said, if your light had a xenon bulb, then it suffered from a short 6 month max life and, probably had little to do with the batteries.

I just purchased this product for my camera and for the price compared to the stores where you can purchase this is very expensive. so even if you purchase and use it for something else you will save allot of money, it worked great for my camera. and i have other things in my house that can use those batteries that will save me allot of money.

Hi, be sure you have the batterys in correct, the negative terminal sets on the springs on the adapter,install the adapter with the arrow pointing to the flashlight. If this does not work the adapter might be defective.I took apart one of the batterys that came with my light and found a small battery, the rest of the space was filled with powder, the battery was probably about 500ma not 4200ma.

I think mag light has a conversion kit for 220 on your website or we could try ZBATTERY.COM / maglite parts

I ordered them to use in alarm sensors. The voltage was too high. Don't know about flashlights.

I can't say for specifically for that light but I recommend being very cautious. The voltage on these batteries run higher than standard (Duracell or Energizer) batteries and they burnt the circuitry in my Gander Mtn. 350 Lumen Tactical light. I could smell the burnt electronics inside.

There are 3 AA to 1 D adapters and then there are 5 AAA to 1 D adapters, both result in a 1.5v D cell size battery unit. Either should FIT in this and any D size application. Voltage wise the result is still 1.5 volts x 2 which the LED needs. However, there are some wattage (amp/hour) differences that may affect the output and life of the instrument when adapters are in use. It shouldn't damage the LED "bulb", it just may not perform as desired.

Hey Susheel, Your question is way to complicated for me to answer. I had to call Maglite, just to find out what I needed to buy. I would suggest, that you go to their site, and ask the experts. http://www.maglite.com/custserv.asp

if they take cr123 batteries, I don't see why they wouldn't it. I use them in my Surefire P2X fury dual and DSF-500/590 forend light, with zero problems.

I would have to disagree with Arthur, I installed on my 2 D cell maglite and it works just fine. It's brighter than the incandescent bulb that comes with the Mags and the battery life lasts longer.

I'm kind of having the same issue. The new batteries I have put in, die fast. I have been using regular store bought batteries. I know there are higher power batteries sold at places like Batteries Plus, that are specifically designed for high lumen flashlights. Might be worth looking into if you want to have optimum performance from your flashlight. I recently ordered a Zebralight SC52. Waiting on it now, but also ordered a $10 high powered AA battery to use in it. It was a battery they sell, and recommend. If you still don't have good light after trying these batteries, I would send it back, or try an exchange, because these Nebo Redlines are pretty cool. Good Luck. Hope I helped in some way.

Tests fine in my 3 and 4 D cell mags. Just tried it myself. I prefer the 2C cell mags though, for their size.

I have both 2 cell C and D size maglights. Two were over 15 years old. The kits work for the C cells but they do not fit the bulb collar on the D cells.

If you gave a specific model for the flashlight, I'm sure we could answer this question better. The answer, given the limited information given, is "maybe". There are a couple things to consider. First, CR123s are narrower than 18650. CR123 are 17mm wide (diameter), and 18650s are usually a little over 18mm wide (diameter). So a light that is sized exactly for CR123 will NOT fit 18650. Many lights are sized large enough to accommodate both types, though, so it MIGHT work. The second consideration is voltage. CR123s are 3V, and they maintain that voltage right up until they are almost dead. 4 CR123, then, will deliver 12V for the whole of the battery life (not exactly, but close enough for our purposes.) Two 18650s will deliver only 8.4V, even when fully charged and under light load. If you ask for high current, the voltage will sag even more. And as lithium ion rechargeables are used, the voltage declines. At 50% capacity, they will be down to somewhere between 3.6-3.7 volts each, or 7.2-7.4 volts total. The question is, then, can the driver in the light compensate for the lower voltage of the 18650s, or not? Some lights can, and others can't, but without knowing the exact light you have, there is no way to be sure.

I believe so. My Fenix lights use either 2, cr123 or 1, 18650. One thing to note is that cr123s's are 3V, and 18650's are 3.7V, not sure if your light is able to run on higher voltage?

I have the same issues! I have had great success with the 750ma (green) batteries, so I ordered some of these 900ma (blue) batteries hoping for longer life. Instead I got varying voltages, higher than 3.0V that the flashlight did not like, plus, they are slightly bulkier and get stuck in the flashlight. They should be built to the same standard, but they are Not!

I have Nite Ize in both a 2-D cell Maglite as well as a 5-C cell. I really have not used them enough to draw an accurate comparison. I do recall that the 5-C cell, when I used it regularly with a halogen bulb, would eat batteries like crazy. The Nite Ize does seem to give a lot more bang for the buck. Sorry I cannot give you a more definitive answer.

Thanks for the question!The answer to your question is yes.I replaced the 4.8V, 0.75A bulb that came with my Maglite (circa 1995) by this Dorcy LED bulb.The light from the Dorcy LED bulb is brighter and whiter than the bulb that originally came with the Maglite.I've been using this particular Dorcy light bulb together with AA batteries, using 3 Lenmar AA adapters for several months now.For further feedback on these please check my review section.
