since the FENIX P1 has no lin-ion protection circuit built in.
I recommend you buy some RC123A from CPF member AW, on the link below.

I use the protected rechargeables in mine, or in a pinch a Surefire 123. You can find all manner of options from one of the sponsors here on CPF. The P1 is a GREAT light, your gonna love it...

If you just want primary (non-rechargeable) cells, you could go with www.surefire.com, www.amondotech.com, or www.batterystation.com.

I use Surefire batteries. I buy them by the dozen.

I would go with something besides the batterystation CR123's. I have them and they seem to not have as high energy concentration as others. My Peak Glacier is supposed to get around 2.5 hours of light but only manages 1.5 on the Batterystation brand. I also recall seeing other runtime graphs that showed the Batterystation CR123's as sub par.
Welcome,
Look here for a detailed review and testing results for many brands. https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/67078
Also check out this link for CPF dealer specials including some battery deals.

For Protected LiIon rechargable R123As, I suggest the following sources:
Dae at www.qualitychinagoods.com - his new version is smaller in diameter and can be used in lights that typically wouldn't fit protected R123As.
MarkCM at e-lectronics.net
AW in the Dealer's forum
For primaries, I prefer Sanyo, Rayovac, Streamlight, Duracell, and Surefire. Sanyo's are the lowest priced of this bunch and can be had for $1 each.

If you want rcr123s, I recomend to go to the dealers section and order from AW. They come with a smart charger so you cant overcharge. Also very quick shipping.

AW's are having diameter issues.
Between LightHound & QualityChinaGoods the exact same items shipped, costs double. Guess I'll be going overseas.
If I'm breaking some edict buy posting a cost analysis, let me know.
