I have some SF 123a batteries, I'm wondering if these will work too?

looking for some cheaper places to buy batteries if anyone knows.

Surefire sells them in bulk.

Those will work too - you have to be careful of some rechargeables as their voltages can be a good deal higher than lithium 123's. Surefire's are good batteries, but you can get generics for about a buck apiece. Battery Station is a good place to buy from. That page is actually a link to the Candlepower Forums specials page, which is another forum worth checking out to see how much people actually spend on flashlights. AmondoTech also has 123's and CR2's for $1 each - good people to order from as well.

Hope this helps.

check out www.botac.com. I got a 20pk of 123's for $15 or $16. Might be a little more now, but still a steal.

If you order a dozen from battery station and then add in the 6.95 s&h charge it ends up being more than a dozen from Surefire (Surefire dozen is 19.95 with shipping, Batt. Stat. is 21.95 with shipping).

Amondotech comes out a little cheaper though. If you order more than a dozen it becomes a better deal. I ordered my last dozen from Surefire. I may order from Amondotech next time.

I've ordered a dozen from them and they were awesome. I had my order in three days. The more you buy from them the cheaper it is. Plus they have a special if you buy a buch with the carrier they have for them.

I looked there, but they wanted 12$ to ship 24 cells to me. 36$ total where surefire was 34$... close pricing.

flat shipping may take up to 3 weeks... funny
