It's in the subject line: Please recommend a good source for batteries here in the U.S. (Other than Battery Junction. They're out.)
Thanks,

Jeers To Battery JunctionCurious to know if you don't mind me asking. Why not Battery Junction?
Thanks, but, wasn't finding what I wanted, there.Battery Station has the cheapest prices you'll find. Last I checked it was like 50 for $65.
I know them. I bought my high-current 18650s there, during my brief foray into vaping. No CR123 at all. (Not surprising.) Only one 16340 brand: Efest. No 17500 at all.I have had good luck with Liion Wholesale Batteries.I find their prices to be very competitive.
One brand of CR123: Ray-O-Vac. Decent selection of 16340. Prices look competitive. No 17500 at all.I like Illumn.com, never had a problem.
I do not know. It's for this: Surefire M3 CombatLight LED Conversion?. 17500s were suggested.It looks like Illumn.com has some 18500's. Any chance an extra millimeter of diameter will fit?
Couldn't find a "Batterydepot" on eBay. General search on "Batterydepot" on the web turned up a very expensive store.RL- Batterydepot on Ebay
Already checked Illumn. "mtnelectronics" has none of: CR123, RCR123, 16400 or 17500 batteries in stock.I use illumn and mtnelectronics.. they ship fast. Shipping cost are pretty cheap too.

I just googled: RL- Batterydepot ebay And came up with several links to the store.I do not know. It's for this: Surefire M3 CombatLight LED Conversion?. 17500s were suggested.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Still looking like Amazon will be my best bet.
No, I have not done the upgrade, yet. Limited funds for such things and I've other priorities atm.Interesting. Did you go with the Lumensfactory driver suggested there? If so, it apparently is rated for up to 13V input, so it sounds like 3 x RCR123A / 16340 = should be compatible (4.2v x 3 = 12.6V), as long as the length is ok (protected cells tend to be a little bit longer than the standard size.
I did a bit of search-engine-ing. Wasn't confident with the results, thus asking hereAlso, I don't know if you already tried Google but just wasn't sure about the reliability of the sellers, but I just did and found a couple places that sell 17500's. I have no idea about this seller, but the AW brand is generally pretty well respected:

I'll give them a look. Thanks.Check out RTDvape.com, I've always had great service
Ah! Thanks! I tried both search-engine-ing and searching on eBay. Neither seemed to turn up anything that looked likely. Guess my search fu was lackingI just googled: RL- Batterydepot ebay And came up with several links to the store.
Here is one of them that takes you directly to the store: http://stores.ebay.com/RL-batterydepot
If they have what you want you won't hardly find better pricing and everything ships for free!
Highly rated and many folks on the forum use it.
They have the 17500s, but out of stock on the 16340s. *sigh*...Oveready is a very well respected and reliable place to shop. Many on CPF love their products and services. If they have 17500's, they will be first rate, genuine AW's.
