Best deal on 123 size batteries?

[fracmeister]

Just used up the last of a beeg batch of Surefires that I got for a buck a pop. Performance was quite good (in my mind). But I am donating a dozen Surefire G3s to some submarine power school grads and will need a buttload of batteries. BTW, is there a better way to carry these than the Surefire options?

I know it is probably in a FAQ somewhere but the best deal changes from time to time.

Man----it has been a loooong tme since I posted.

$1 each is the best price I've seen. Slight price break if you buy hundreds. We've bought a bunch of the Tenergy brand cells from Battery Junction for $1.

a buck was a long time ago. I just want the best "now" deal for a quality battery...

That being said I just ordered 25 from them and we'll report on how they hold up.


Given the intended audience of my gift I'd also like info on the best quality/ deent price. I am guessing I'll go for the 1.75 surefires ///

LL Bean has Surefire brand for $20.00 a 12pack

Battery Station also has 123s for $1 for CPF members.

The Battery Station 123 consistantly came in ahead of the Tenergy 123 in almost every situation in the "123 Shoot Out" except for lights 2.0 Amp draw. At the 2.0 amp level the Tenergy takes the top seat.

edit: It should also be noted that Battery Junction offers 5% off to CPF members with the code: cpf2006, so this might prove to be an even better deal.

Plus, Wayne at amondotech.com seems commited to working with the manufacturer, improving the formulation of the Titanium batteries... :thumbsup:

Too common of a thread. Can be followed in the numerous other threads in the Batteries Forum.

Closed.
