I just saw this photo recently and was trying to get a hold of the picture of the battery case only. Do any of you guys have a picture of the battery case only? Thanks
I can tell you from seeing/handling the package at a local retailer many times it's nothing to get excited about. It seems to be made of material not much stronger than a typical blister pack. Unless you find it at a crazy cheap price you shouldn't waste your money. IMHO! Here in Canada that goes for $20!...........Nuts!!
Really? Where'd you see a package with more than 2 CR123s? The best prices I've ever seen locally are $5 for a single Panasonic @ MEC or a pair of Energizers @ The Source for $12. I keep thinking it's a good thing the Canadian dollar is worth more than the US, or the prices would be ridiculous. This is why I'd never buy a light that uses CR123s.
I've seen SF 2pks at Lowes for $5. As pointed out above, quality CR123 cells are easily found online for $2 or less. A 4pk of lithium AA or AAA at walmart is usually $6.99 or $1.75 each. Alkaline AA and AAA are usually about $0.50 each and you will use at least 4 alkaline for every 1 lithium. Except for NiHM rechargeable batteries, I see no advantage in AA compared to CR123.
I personally prefer CR123, but the reasons are outside the scope of this topic. On topic, I've never seen the referenced 6pk of SF 123 cells, but from the photo there doesn't look to be a reusable battery carrier.
