16340 is it the same as CR123

A fully charged 16340 should be around 4.2 volts.

If you want disposable batteries go with CR123A’s and if you want rechargeable buy 1 or 2 good 16340.

I haven’t actually looked up the light you are getting but check the voltage range, if it cuts off at 3 volts the CR123A wont be much use.
