#123 Lithium Battery Question~

[Kentucky Rifle]

I've been laying in a supply of #123 lithiums. Is there much of a difference in brands? The Duracells and especially the Surefires look good, but I've been stockpiling DP's also. How do these generally compare?
I can get 5 DP's for $5.00 from Arc. I've also "heard" that the 123 lithium Duracells are not up to the standards of the rest. True??

Thanks,
Will

Ive been through about half a dozen each of surefires, panasonics and duracell 123's, and duracells are the best, closely followed by the surefires. The panasonics are fine for the price, but they dont last nearly as long.

Is it true that the Surefire batteries are made by Duracell?

Did the older Surefire lights us to come with Duracells packed in them?

My old 6p came with Duracells along with a label saying its the world's brightest small flashlight...lol /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif

Duracell=good.
Surefire=good (made by Ray-O-Vac...my guess)
Ray-O-Vac silver label=SUPER GOOD, but hard to find.
DP=Good, so far
Tekcell=Yuck
