Surefire 123 batteries

[GH41]

Lowe's has Surefire 123A batteries for $4.97 a two pack. Maybe not the absolute best price but no shipping. GH

Haven't seen them here, but still think its higher then I have been ordering them offline, granted I usually order 12 at a time and it usually runs me about $2 a battery with shipping. That said, the Lowes price is better then my LGS who had them, the last time I was in there, for $8 for a two pack.

If you're military, the PX has them I think in 20 packs for like $22 and change I think.

I've noticed lately that Streamlight 123 batteries seem to be a couple of $ cheaper in bulk packs. Are they as good as 123's from Surefire? They're all lithium batteries but has anyone done any comparison testing?

I bought the Streamlight batteries and them seem to have the same run time as the Surefire batteries IMHO. I don't find myself having to change them before I normally would to make sure they are ready.

They're basically all the same. I would say $5 for two is good at a retail store. Where I work sells single packs for $8.99 all day.

Bought a SF X300U from brightflashlights.com recently. They had a special on Streamlight CR123s, 12@ $15. SF's were $18. The special might still be running.

FWIW, the owner was telling me that Streamlight and SF batteries are made by the same company and labelled accordingly. I can neither confirm or deny, but I have never seen a difference in run times out of any of my lights.

The price on the WML was also the best I could find. $202 shipped. YMMV.
