Prodigy Standard RCR123A v.s. RCR2

[panderson01]

I have some RCR2's and charger from my DIY days and was wondering if I can use them in my Prodigy?

The RCR2's (actually UltraFire TR15270) are rated at 3v/800mAh, cutoff discharge is3.6v and 2.0v. With a multimeter, they are currently at 3.32v.

I just received my Prodigy today and am a bit impatient on waiting on my new batteries to charge.

Any input?

Thanks,
Paul

If you do it and it works make sure to say. I am contemplating making a extension tube to lengthen mine to use two 18650 batteries.

As long as they fit in the tube, i'm betting they will work. Voltage looks the same as the rcr123a's, but they look a bit shorter and unprotected(are the tenergy's that come with prodigy protected or just LifePO4?)

TDM, 2 18650's?? That would be one long PV LOL
Think that would also be higher volts, 3.7v x 2 minus the resistor, would probably be closer to 6v

Yep but think of the vape life!! May have to get a special switch made with 2 resistors to get the voltage down a bit more!!

The tenergys that come with the prodigy I believe are protected batteries.
