Taco finally wised up and ordered one of these for Taco's Zeus 75 640. I tried searching but couldn't find what I was looking for. What's better, rechargeable 18650s or CR123s? I want to stock up on one or the other. Do they have a shelf life if left in the package? Any info you can lay on me about these batts would help. Thanks boys.

I have a hundred or so 18650, never had one go bad unless they hit the concrete floor, as far as shelf life. I think the 123's would not last as long

Do they really recharge?? I did not know that...lol

D, yeah but I have 30 flashlights/headlamps that use them, then I keep buying the highest mAh available. May only be 75 but I have more than I will ever need!

so... you're one of 'those guys' with the flashlights, huh? no doubt you have some badass lights. my current top of the line is a surefire p3x fury tactical i received as a gift. personally i wouldn't spend that much on a light, but it flat out shines anything else i've seen in a handheld. it takes 3-cr123s but i'm currently using 2-17500 rechargables. so far, so good. there are some upgrade mods for it to convert to 2-18650s but i'm hoping someone will just come out with one and i won't have to bother.

mine go from 110 lumens to 6400 lumens and all between along with every color. Then they are $4 to $48 as all the high dollar ones are clones or simply rebranded to screw consumers.

2 things 1. I took your advice Frank T on 6.8, I got it, it is a whacker. I also got the ar hunting rifles upper, it's great. 2. What is the best brand of battery for my Zeus 640 in the 18650? Should it be 2600mah or 3000mah. I know it is a 3.7v. Any help on this? Thanks

The Panasonic is the best 18650 but you can buy 4-5 of any 3000MaH 18650 for what they cost. Most are made at the same China factory and branded for all the companies. I buy quantity off ebay and they all work pretty good, even have some advertised as 10,000Mah, no I don't believe them.
