Although many devices that use "123" batteries are sold with a Duracell 123 battery... replacement batteries tend to be both very expensive and difficult to find locally. Any suggests on the best places to purchase them?
I was surprised to discover both Duracell and Surefire batteries in one store. The Surefire ones were significantly less expensive than the Duracell ones. Does the price difference reflect a significant difference in product quality?
I'd also like to find high quality rechargeable 123 batteries as well as a high quality battery charger. (I'd prefer a battery charger that can handle a variety of different types of batteries, if possible.) Any suggestions?
Is there a good rule of thumb to use in deciding whether to use a primary versus rechargeable battery in a given device? (For example, I spoke to someone who was out of town when a dead battery triggered his home alarm system.) Is it better to use primary rather than rechargeable batteries in security-related devices?
