123A batteries

[Jose]

I dont see why you dont use 18650's vs two cr123's. I know some lights can use them as the voltage is to high or some bs.

I really did think surefires could run a 18650.

Some can and others can't or have to be modified to work with 18650's. For example, my Surefire U2 would have to be modified to work with 18650's. The battery tube on mine is just a tad smaller. But I'm perfectly happy with the 123's and I already have plenty of them.

This is a pretty good deal IMO.

I'm going to order one of these sets always good to recharge for a 1000+ times a piece, but I was also noticing that they only put out out 900mAh vs the Surefire at 1400mAh, so the non-rechargeable last longer.

so the non-rechargeable last longer.

That has pretty much always been the drawback, as long as they dont mislabel the voltage.

Let me know if someone backs out and I'm in for some, Alex.

Or we get two more people and place our own order?

I don't need all 25. If anyone wants 11 of mine you are welcome to them. You just got to come to me to get them.

Edit: changed to 11, don't want an odd number

I don't need all 25. If anyone wants 12 of mine you are welcome to them. You just got to come to me to get them.

Dibs.

it happens Harrison. I've got 128 tennergy aa rechargeable batteries that way.

If you want to sell some of them let me know, I could use a few.

I've never had an issues with them.

sorry jose. I use them all in my deer cameras. i could use another 24 myself.

[Darren M]

Shit.... late to the party again.... Anyone wanna sell some??!!?!? Trade?

[Jose]

That's cool. I thought I could help you out and buy some off of you. Need to order some anyway.

I don't know why you guys haven't invested in a rechargeable setup yet. I bought two chargers (has both AC/DC plugs) and 8 rechargeable CR123's that I rotate around. Keep one at my desk and the other in my camping backpack.

Used to be that I would hardly use my flashlights for fear of wasting those expensive ass batteries but now anymore. About the only thing I don't use the rechargeables on are my TLR-1S.

This is a pretty good deal IMO.

My experience with rechargeable batteries in lights and camera is that they tend to degrade over time. You get less and less work time with them after each use, till the point you gotta shell out the $$ to get a replacement set. It would cost the same over time for me, but I knew the standard batteries would work X hours, every time and I couldn't count the rechargeable's for that.

Not sure the exact experience you had with what items (i.e. flashlights, cameras, flashes, etc.) but at least on the two Surefire flashlight, two Streamlight headlamps, and a flash I have for a DSLR I have they have worked out great. This is going back at least 5 or 6 years. Had to think about that because I do not have a receipt handy but my dad has been gone for 3 years now and I've had them at least 2 years before that. Now I can't remember my experience with regular 123's but on the rechargeable's there is no hint on when they are about to go dead. So on the Surefire E1B I use for concealed carry, I keep a spare rechargeable on me. It might flicker a bit but really no hint. I have a Surefire U2 and a Streamlight headlamp that when I use them I'll keep spares on hand.

Either way, with the cost and availability of regular 123's, I was always worried about using them. Sure Home Depot or Lowes might have them in a pinch but if I was out, how much was that going to cost me? With rechargeable's I never worry about that, I use them however much I want.

I have maybe a little under 20 Surefire CR123's I keep in a Pelican box for storage. Whenever I go camping I carry them in my pack. When I know recharging may not be convenient I will keep a couple in my pocket. For the price it's well worth it to me IMO for whatever degradation I might experience. Same goes for regular batteries. I have a few AA rechargable's I use for a Mini Maglight and my Appple wireless Keyboard and Mouse. No worries whatsoever.

Oh and my Surefire CR123's, they are several years old but I know they are still good and have a long shelf life. I have a battery meter I use to keep track of them and my rechargeables and have been good to me.

God I drunkenly bought a bunch of batteries.

Did the same thing with a PTR91 and a EAA 10mm a few weeks ago.
