CR123 Availability

[BarryNYC]

I've alwyas bought my CR123's on the internet. Just out of curiousity, where are the available in case of emergency? (price is not so important in this case)

So here's my poll about where you have bought 123 Lithiums.

Radio Shack? (I assume the answer is yes)
Walmart?
Big Drugstores?
Small (non-chain) drugstores?
Supermarkets?
Other?

Thanks,

Have seen them at Walmart recently.
Would also assume a good camera store would have them.

How about camera shop?

I also saw them in Staples/Office Depot recently.

Without regard to price, I've seen them at:
Lowe's
Walmart
Riteaid (and most other pharmacies whos names escape me).
Meijer's
Menards
Office Max
Staples
........

Or in other words, anyone with a reasonable battery display.

I've seen them at Bartell's drug store, but I don't know if Bartell's is a national chain or not.

I think you can get them at Pay-N-Save (variety/drug store) too.

There's a Radio Shack not far from here (a few minutes from the time I leave this building until I get there in an electric wheelchair).

There are also a couple of camera shops not far from here, and I think you can get them at the Rotary Grocery in the Pike Place Market if you're willing to part with around $14 for each cell. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

There's no Wall-Mart, K-Mart, or other large store around here, so I don't know if they have them or not. And I did not check the Office Depot we have here, so I don't know if they have them or not either.

Unless you have a credit card, or know somebody who has one, getting them online isn't a handy option.

Re: CR123 Availability -- Part II

Ok, sounds like availability is pretty good. Now, anybody got any experience outside of the U.S.? Canada, I assume, is much like US, availability wise.

What about Europe? (big cities, small towns)

What about Asia?

Africa?

Anybody tried to get an emergency replacement while travelling?

Thanks,
