CR123 spares holder x 3 cell

[E.Marquez]

I searched here in this sub forum and a few others, came up with a few posts on home brew 18650 cell holders, and a few posts on Cr123 spare cell holders for TWO cells.

Im looking for a way to carry and protect THREE 123 cells. My main lights are a 3 cell (Sure fire) and I get issued or buy cells in single blister packs or in bagged bulk.

What i want to have is a thin, flat, 3 cell side by side plastic (non conducting if wet) case to carry a set of spares.

Tahnks in advance if you have a link to a product, or a home brew idea.

Look down this page, they're orange in the add but you can buy other colours but you may have settle for a four cell though.

Norm, thanks for the response.

Just not really what I need.

1: Space is a premium.. I carry between 45-70 pounds of Kit on a patrol.. Every bit of capacity is needed / used, not an ounce of extra weight or wasted space is helpful..

2: That holder while protecting the case of the battery does not keep the cell from getting wet, with rain, melted snow and sweat.

So it's close, but still looking for a "best" solution.

You could try using one of the Lighthound plastic tubes that hold 4x123s. Just cut the closed end off to 3x123 length, and then re-seal it using tape or some type of cap.

not quite what you are looking for but it is light tough and waterproof

Its 4 and not 3, but the SC3 is perhaps the best cell holder made.

THATS IT.. What is it? Where do you buy it? Test tube or something?

Thanks

That looks like what County Comm calls a "Tube Vault"....

You can buy them at lighthound. Here is a link http://www.lighthound.com/Lighthoun...batteries-or-4-x-CR-123-batteries_p_2803.html. I have one and it works great. I have not personally tested the water proofness' but it looks pretty good. The nice thing about this is if you loose the cap it is a standard 2 lier soda cap size. You could shave weight off by not using a cap and using parafilm http://www.2spi.com/catalog/supp/parafilm.php
Hope this helps - Stay safe.
