A good belt carrier for CR123 batteries?

[Brigadier]

I have looked high and low, but can't seem to find what I am looking for.

I am wanting to carry 2-4 CR123/IMR16340 batteris on my belt, but finding a good carry system is hard. I would prefer a dedicated kydex style sheath, but am open to others.

Anyone have a lead on a good system?

Thanks.

I do. I have this little green pouch that fits 6x123 or 3x18650 cells, with velcro and very compact. It's 2 rows of 3 cells in each.

I can also carry 2x123 and 2 cell phone batteries in it.

I think it's Maxpedition or someone similar who made it.

Google search "Maxpedition Volta Battery Case," it might be what you are looking for. The CPF member AW over on the marketplace was selling some CR123 "pouches" a while back as well.

RobertM's idea is one of the best. The Maxpedtion nylon case holds a plastic battery holder that holds a max of 8 batteries. Two sets of 4 batteries that snap together.

Tadgear carries a nylon pouch called the BC4 that is similiar to the Maxpedition but smaller. It carries one of the battuca plastic battery holders (4 batteries) only.

Tadgear also has a larger one called the BC8 that is the same as the Maxpedtion above.

AW's belt pouch is the one I have. Admittedly, it spends more time in my pack than on my belt, so I can't elaborate too much on that, but it is a relatively low cost solution and it holds 4 CR123 size batteries quite securely.

 

[Watts Up!]

I think I saw someone that was making a cool belt holster for your small light and had a single side holster for 1 CR123 battery so it was right next to your light. Looked pretty cool.

TADgear, that's the one. I have both BC4 and BC8. The BC8 holds 12x123 or 16xAA. A nice pouch for TSHTF.
You can put a lot of useful stuff in these pouches, along with batteries. The velcro is nice, it won't come open.

It is like they were designed for each other.

How many CR123's will it hold? 2 or 3?

How about a duty latex glove pouch like this:

I also use Lowepro camera pouches to carry SC1, SC2, and SC3 spares carriers.
