Gad-Zooks on ebay has them for the "buy it now" price of $29.99... but I don't believe their product description is correct.
IIRC, all RED X5s are powered by one 123A cell...
I was wondering the same thing(see my post right above yours)-- http://batteryjunction.com/inx5blnivire.html also says 2xCR123 :shrug:
I may not know anything about this, but I would not use rundown CR123 batteries in a two cell light. Many of the batteries I have taken out of two cell lights have a different potency - at least as measured by a ZTS meter. One of the two cells is likely to run down much faster than the other.
I chuck batteries once they obviously seem to be weak and don't produce enough light. If I wanted to use two batteries that have been in a light for some time, I'd only swap them into single cell lights.
The battery experts here should chime in.
I have found that the X5 will run for some time with an original pair of batteries. The light may dim a bit, but is still useful for a long time.
and I'm surprised that you were the first person to point out the potential danger.
3) Do not use batteries with different levels of charge left in them
ie: only use two batteries in the x5 that were from the same light, such as an Incan surefire 2x Cr123a, do NOT use one Cr123a from a single cell light, and another one from a differnt single cell light.
4) once the levels hit very low, its time to throw them away, dont run them COMPLETELY down.
