Anyone using rechargeable CR2 batteries?

Thanks for the tip,

I hate to order 40 when I don't go through that many in a year. With free shipping over $50, I ordered 20 (@1.10 each) and found some other batteries at a good price - Streamlight DL1/3N two pack (duracrap batts) was a really good deal and a few 2450 for my ST multisensors that was a tad cheaper than my AMZ subscription. Also found a 5% off code to save a few bucks.

I've ordered bulk CR2 from Amazon in the past and used them up over a few years.

But I switched to RCR2 because I wanted to reduce the amount of trash I generate. The EBL ones I bought are only 400mAh (half a non-rechargeable) but so far the ones I put in use about a year ago (inside IRIS contact sensors) are holding up just fine.

Yup, using EBL in my Iris sensors, and the CR123 in my dome siren and Iris Keypads. All working great and pretty much paid for themselves.
Also using 14500 in my dome contact sensors, up to 8months so far

An update: the RCR2 lasted 19 months in my Iris v2 contact sensor.
