I certainly can't call this a rant, but jeez, how many batteries does a guy need?
OK, I figured having 50 CR123 primaries was a good number for emergency use (I'm mostly into rechargeables, but not all), so I bought and paid for 50 of them.
So far, so good.
But I also happen to like Surefires as much as anyone else, so everytime I get another Surefire, I end up with 8 to 20 MORE CR123 batteries. (That's common with Surefire lights because it's the only way for a dealer to get around the "list price" rule set by Surefire).
Well damnit, I just ordered a Novatac 120P, and the damn thing comes with 20 free batteries.
So now I'm up to over 100 batteries that I am sure will "time out" before I get a chance to actually use them.
So my suggestion to frequent buyers is; quit buying CR123 batteries. With just the free ones you get with the lights you buy, you'll be swimming in batteries for a long time to come.
There, my "almost" rant is over.
Whew; I'm glad to get that off my chest.
