Best prices on btteries for tac-light - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

So, I had to clear my house last night because I heard a suspicious noise and my tac-light had a dead battery. Instead of purchasing from a store, do you know of any websites out there that have great deals on batteries?

I'm looking for CR2 batteries for the Insight XML and CR123A batteries for the Streamlight TLR-1.

Thanks in advance,

DeltaCharlie2

I saw a thread somewhere where Grant from G&R tactical did the research and found that many of the battery manufacturers out there simply re-badge Panasonic batteries. Sorry can't find the link at the moment. But that's what I buy now; from G&R at around $1.50 apiece.

That's pretty good for the 123's. Do you remember what they charged you for shipping?

The best prices I've found for the CR2's is on ebay. 6 batteries + shipping for about $10.

I had a couple other things to buy from them at the time, so I just added 12 to the order. Batteries came to $18, shipping was $7.

Still not bad considering I was at the store recently and they wanted ~$16 for 2 Duracell CR123a.

Here is the best price I've found for the CR2 (they are smaller and fit the Insight XML). 12 for $18

I just buy Surefire batteries from the local Tactical Store. They're a hair over 21 dollars a box after taxes. The ones at Wal-Mart are WAY overpriced. I've got three lights that run on them my G2L my Glock rail mounted light and my regular G2.
