I just discovered that half of my two year old Battery Station cell where dead! Sanyo's from the same age group are still good to go.

Have a look at this thread, this thread and this post. Then search for information on passivation and lithium batteries. An email to BS wouldn't be a bad idea.

Titanium. A buck a piece. CR123a lights pull a lot of juice at high voltage to get the brightness (which is what everyone wants). There is a price to this though. CR123a batteries were really never designed for a flashlight to begin with. They are just not going to last that long no matter which brand you use. You want to pay big bucks for a battery that will last no longer (or not any longer that's going to make any noticeable difference), be my guest. I'll stick with paying a buck a piece or lower. Better yet, you want more longevity in a flashlight, don't get one with cr123a batteries.
4Sevens are the cheapest I can find, and they have worked out well for me so far.
Went to Lowe's today to pick up more Surefire CR123's, and they were marked at $2.99.
Needles to say, I bought all that were left. (11 2X packs).
Normaly they're $4.30 here.
