unversal battery warning

on the 1st i orderd some unversal 123,s for my lights i ordeer em cod. to get em fast.i figure maybe ill get em on 7th at latest but i calll and they say it wont be here to 12th whcih i wasnt suposed to be here on 12th. but they came today early. and out a package a few where under volts and gave me very little run time. well thats scares me if i didnt check em all id been screwed if i needed them. reason i checked em is first batts i used gave me like 4 minutes or less run time the dealer was cool and sending replacments but i wont ever by that brand again!

I had a similar experience some time ago, but I don't remember the brand... It's a pretty bad experience raggie... That's why there are no 123's in my house expect for Surefire, Duracell and some BatteryStation.

Anyway, you were lucky because I actually went camping with those faulty batteries I got and remember changing the batts in my Surefire's every 20 mins or so for a whole night's period!

BTW, what brand were yours?

Raggie, I got the exact same problem!
I forgot the brand but it was one of these ebay ones...
Half of the cells were dead ones!
