Surefire batteries locally?

[DaveTN]

Does anyone in the Murfreesboro/Nashville area carry SF123A or compatible batteries in stock, or do I have to order on-line?

Lots of places. Best Buy, probably WalMart. Lot's of stuff besides flashlights run on 123 batteries.

[Guest Lester Weevils]

Yeah in drugstores or Best Buy the package usually mentions "123" in fine print but has words like "Photo Battery" in big print.

I have never seen CR123A batteries at Wal-Mart which is weird because they are supposed to carry everything.

FWIF I got a decent deal on a 12 pack of Streamlight 123 batteries on Amazon.

I'>Amazon.com: Streamlight 85177 CR123A Lithium Batteries, 12-Pack: Home Improvementt looks like the price has gone up since I ordered mine a few months ago though. I'm not sure if they are any better or worse than Surefire batteries.

They're in with the digital camera accessories in the photo area. A bit pricey as I recall.

Lowes carries Surefire CR123s in pairs for less than $5.00. They're right up by the checkout.

Pretty much any good gun shop should carry them. However, Surefire is a little too expensive for my taste. I order my batteries from Battery Junction online. You can buy Titanium Innovations batteries for less than a dollar a piece vs $2-3 Surefire batteries. I use these for recreational purposes.

You can get 4 rechargeable batteries and a charger from one of the Hong Kong dealers on Ebay for less than $25. A lot of that Hong Kong stuff is crap, but I've had good luck with the batteries.

LEDs don't seem to like the rechargables.

Batteries + carries them.

[Caster]

Really? I haven't any trouble at all.

you must have a good one. Ones I have seen started acting goofy when the battery lost some juice. They didnt just get dim like normal.

I go by Lowes quite often and pick up a couple sets when I am running low. Bass pro has them as well, and my local gun shop carries Surefire as well.

The sleeve of batts for $20 is good deal. While back at a gun show in Nash gun show a dealer had the surefires sleeves for $20 also.

Not sure if 10 or 12 but I'd never pay more than $3 each max.

The camera shops get up to $9.95 EACH for them 123's. Check around, you will find the deal you wont say no to !

I get mine from Brightflashlights.com. Great service, great prices. Do your homework on the chinese batteries. Go to Candlepowerforums.com and read about and see pictures of what happens when chinese batteries explode. It's not worth grenading a 2-300 dollar light to save a few bucks on a battery.

If I am completely out and need batteries quick, I place an order and then go to Lowes as mentioned earlier.

[JeffL]

I buy mine from brightflashlights.com. He sells rebranded Rayovacs (Made in USA). Friends don't let friends use Chinese batteries.

ETA: I see twpayne75 and I think alike.

What is that about great minds..............

I don't have a flashlight that uses them but I am a dedicated e-cig user, and the "mod" (big battery e-cig) I have uses the LifeP04 CR123a batteries. Batteryjunction.com has really good deals on 6 Tenergy LifeP04 batteries and charger included for something like $30.00. Rechargeable ones are the way to go if you ask me. I've been using Tenergy's for about a year now and they are pretty good, although if you really want a good rechargeable battery, AW brand is the way to go.

[Magiccarpetrides]

In the Knoxville area Coal Creek has a killer deal on em $17.99 per 12

I have never seen them cheaper.

[felinesNfreedom]

I have them at my lowe's for about 4 dollars a 2 pack I think. I will have to check that price when I go to work tomorrow I need some for my Weapon light anyways.
