Ok, so as of recently I have really gotten into flashlights. Particularly small, bright, led's. I ordered myself a fenix lop-se and have really enjoyed it the last few days. So I decided to order a p1d-ce but I have a question. What kin of cr123a battery should I buy? Whats the best/brightest/longest lasting. I know this is a noob question but I am curious as I want to get some before my new toy arrives. Thanks in advance.
Newbie who just ordered p1d-ce question.

Hello aarong50 and welcome to CPF
I use rechargeables in all my lights (free Lumens) so I would go with RCR123 and a charger from member "AW".
Best regards

I too use rechargeables (RCR123) almost exclusively, though keep a good stash of primary CR123 just in case.
I think I saw on someone's runtime graph that low output won't work on the P1D CE when using a RCR123, so thats a consideration.

I'm using Surefire brand in mine right now only because I had a couple new ones lying around. I ordered some Energizers from 47's at around $2 a piece after the discount. Pretty good price IMO.

If you want to pay the price Duracell is probably the best, safest and longest lasting although safety is not really much concern in a single cell light.

BatteryStation and Amondotech brand batteries work fine for most of my applications. Some of my lights, however, are finicky, and prefer more expensive batteries. *cough*M3T*cough*
