[solo73]

i was wanting to know what the best batteries are for the streamlight and surefire. i need alot because i'm here in iraq. so far i have found 72 for $90 at surefire.com. is there anything that lasts longer or anywhere i can get a better deal than surefire?

Personally, I'd just get the Surefires. They're pretty darn good batteries and that's a good price.

There have been a bunch of runtime tests by folks on the forums and the Surefires have always shown themselves to be among the top (if not the top) performers.

You can get them for lower price of you get more, $1.15 each if you get 400, $1.10 if you get 1200, $1.05 if you get 38400. You said you need alot. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I have read somewhere here on CPF that Surefire batteries are optimized for high-drain usage and do better in high-output flashlights than other batteries.

Don't know if it's true.

But it is definitely true that if your Surefire order includes the 72 battery pack plus the 12 battery pack you get free shipping.
