Titanium Innovations CR123A 3V Lithium Battery - $1 + S/H

I bought 20+ of these a few years ago for use in my good LED flashlights. I have nothing but excellent things to say about them. They last a long time, they're brighter than rechargeables and I would buy again in a heartbeat. At $1 each I like the brightness they bring over rechargable lights. If you need CR123's I highly recommend this company and these batteries. (I dont mean to sound like a salesman, I just am very pleased with my purchase.)

I buy my 123 batteries from foursevens when I get a light, for around $2 each. Never had a problem with their batteries. They are, admittedly, made in China.

These $1 Cr123a primary batteries are a pretty decent deal. Bought a dozen or so to test them out the last time I placed an order with Battery Junction.

Many sources claim these are pretty decent in high drain flashlights and considered to be the best bang for the buck primary cr123a. The downside is the cells are made in China and not Panasonic made cells, who makes Surefire's batteries as well as most other top tier lithium primary and rechargeable batteries, who almost exclusively are using USA or Japanese made cells in their top tier batteries.

In early testing by Candle Power Forum members, some claimed these discharge at more than the manufacturer rated 1% per year, but that was years ago. Honestly I'd like to see for myself, so I bought some.

Down the road we'll see if the long term drain of these $1 Cr123A's compare to Panasonic celled top tiered Cr123a's Until then, the batteries in my weapon lights will be Panasonic celled batteries, but in some of my other household flashlights, I've been trying these, and so far I'm not disappointed by their performance ;)
