Surefire Batteries?

[Carolinaboy]

So I am out of Surefire Batteries, and need to get some more. I usually buy a dozen at a time.

Where do y'all buy yours? Do you use the surefire ones or do you buy some knock offs? I hate buying them because of the price but I love my two G2s

So what do y'all do?

I discovered, the hard way, that "other" batteries sometimes don't work as well, or reliably, as Surefire batteries.

I normally buy mine at either "Cheaper Than Dirt" or the Cabela's up I-35W.

I ordered some a while back from Graf's. I think it was a dozen for about $2.00 each (Surefire brand). Graf & Sons - The Reloading Authority - Your Source for Shooting Supplies

LA Police Gear 5.11 Tactical, Galco, Maxpedition, Converse, Bates, Danner, Surefire and Blackhawk normally they are reasonably priced there!

I used to have a working multimeter (before I blew its fuse). After testing various brands of batteries, the cheapest generics were actually always the best. I get my CR batts from eBay in bulk. I'm thinking about buying rechargeables next time.

I buy only surefires now - but I just buy the 2 packs for $4.99 at Lowes whenever I need one. Yea, they are cheaper online in bulk, but this is good enough for me. Now that I use rechargables in many of my flashlights, I buy a lot fewer 123s.

Do ya mean the CR123s batteries? I have several flashlights that use them, and usually end up getting the 12-packs on base for just under $20...

Lately I have been buying mine at Lowe's. I happened to see them as I was standing in line at the check out a few months ago. I do not know when they started carrying Surefire. I pay a bit under $5 for a pair. Probably not the cheapest, but no shipping or waiting involved.

Seems I am in Lowe's a couple of times every week. I just grab a pack or two whenever I think of it on the way to check out.

 

[majormadmax]

Wow...thats cheap!

Yep, about $1.66 per battery...and no tax!

Cheers! M2

You can get them at Lowes 2 for 5bucks. pretty good deal. And no i only use Surefire batteries in my flashlights!!!


My bad didnt see that everyone knows about the Lowes. Most any gun shop has them also in the DFW area.

Hmmm....ok thanks fellas. I think I'll just buy a 12 pack next time I'm over at BPS. I thought about getting some knock off ones but for $20 I'll be alright
