Hi all,
I am looking for a good deal on some batteries. I need a bunch (at least 60) of the 123A batteries for my "tactical" flashlights. I used to get them directly from Surefire. A 12 pack box used to cost about $13 - now they are $21 for a 12 pack! Cheaper Than Dirt has the 12 pak for $19, but I think I can do better with another brand of battery if it is of decent quality.

I am also looking for some CR2 batteries for my XD's "X-Treme Mini Light."

Thanks,
- Pete45

Batterystation and Amondotech Titanium batteries are good inexpensive alternitaves to Surefire.

Here is a review of the titanium brand cells. http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/titanium_123a.htm

Second on the Battery Station brand batteries. The cost goes down to $1/cell if you are a Candlepowerforum member.

Thanks a lot guys! I cracked up when I read that there is actually a website called "cheapbatteries.com"... why didn't I think of that?

Thanks again,

How does that discount work? Do you enter some code or your login name during the ordering process?

Secret page for the product itself. Then you enter your member name and they'll verify it.
