Well, I bought a pack of rechargeable CR123 batteries off of ebay, and I tried them in my surefire G2, the bulb turns on for a split second, then nothing, I think that the batteries blew the bulb, after I start messing around looking for what is wrong, I open up another pack of batteries I had laying around and it still didn't work. So I look at the rechargeable ones and they say they are 3.7 volts. Would this minute increase in voltage cause my bulb to burn out? and is there a way that I can get 7.2 volt bulbs for my G2? Thanks in advance.

It could very well make them burn out. Did you get the Spiderfire ones out of curiosity? I use those in my Pelican just fine.

Nope, they are Soshine brand, some 20 dollars for 4 batteries and a charger.

From Surefire's website: Aren't all lithium batteries the same? No! Many counterfeit or inferior lithium batteries don't have the power output characteristics or built-in fault (short-circuit) protection that SureFire batteries have. This can cause poor performance or even be dangerous to you and your SureFire illumination tools. * Customers should never: Use non-U.S.A. made batteries * Mix old and new batteries * Mix different brands of batteries * Purchase and use batteries marked "PRC" or "Made in China" And also: GENERAL BATTERY WARNING: Lithium batteries can explode, catch fire, and/or cause burns if disassembled, punctured, cut, crushed, short circuited, incinerated, recharged, or exposed to water, fire, or high temperatures. DO NOT place loose batteries in a pocket, purse, or other receptacle containing metal objects, mix with used or other battery types, or store with hazardous or combustible materials. If batteries catch fire, DO NOT attempt to put out the fire with water—use a class "D" fire extinguisher or other smothering agent. Keep batteries away from children. DO NOT use rechargeable batteries in your illumination tool. DO NOT put in backwards. Failure to follow these directions could result in damage to your illumination tool that may not be covered by SureFire's warranty. Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Follow applicable laws and regulations for transport, shipping, and disposal. For more details on recycling lithium batteries please contact a government recycling agency, your waste disposal service, the retailer where the batteries were purchased, or visit reputable online recycling sources. COUNTERFEIT AND INFERIOR-QUALITY BATTERY WARNING: There have been many reported incidents of counterfeit and/or inferior-quality lithium batteries developing internal shorts that have lead to fire and/or explosion. This has resulted in damage to the illumination tool, and in some cases, property damage or personal injury. Customers are specifically cautioned from purchasing batteries from online auction websites, as these are known sources of counterfeit or inferior-quality batteries. SureFire performance claims are based on the use of SureFire 123A lithium batteries only. SureFire 123A lithium batteries are manufactured to strict quality standards specifically for use in high-performance, high-drain devices, and contain built-in fault and heat protection for added safety. The use of counterfeit or inferior-quality batteries could greatly reduce runtime and output performance, damage your SureFire illumination tool, constitute a safety hazard, and may void your warranty.

That's why I was asking if he got the SpiderFire's. They are rechargable with the built-in protections.

I don't see where that bulb you posted will fit in a G2. I'm pretty sure all the lights it is listed for have a different size/shape bezel.

It says it fits in a surefire 6p and 9p flashlight, and they use the same bulbs between the G&P t6 and t9.
