SF - 123\'s Banned...
...from my stock. Until SureFire improves the quality of their CR-123 cells, I'll no longer purchase more.
Of the four 12 packs of SF cells I had in the past year five of them suffered premature failure while in storage. Today was the last straw when I tried to show an interested fellow tech how well my G2 performed. By the time I threw in some old Yuntongs he had to leave. This was the second time I was unable to show off a good light, due to dead SF cells.
One would think that buyers of SF products place heavy importance on reliability - I do. It matters not that some CPFers have gone through hundreds of SF cells without failure...five out of 48 is too much for me.
So far only SF lithiums have gone belly up when the light was turned off. Some other brands had some cells with poor capacity but at least they gave a warning well before dying.
I hope the Streamlight brand proves to be reliable because that's what I'm trying next.
