CR123's

[11b1776]

What brand do you fellas prefer? I picked up some surefire brand, and they have been HORRIBLE, I have a light on my HD weapon and they will last only a few months before running down. That's with almost no use. I can't remember the brand I had before, but they lasted well over a year maybe 18 months before I had to change them. Maybe I got lucky on the other brand or just some old surefire batteries. What say ye OSA?

I've used duracell with good results.

Surefire batteries should have an expiration date on them that is approximately 10 years from you date of purchase.
If not, you got old batteries.

03-2022, is the expiration date, so I don't know what to make of that, I didn't have a problem with the other brand on standby.

I got some from all-battery.com. They are called titanium, fine for what I use them for. I actually got the titanium from battery junction and other batteries from all battery. They also sell a 123 as well but never used them

I have the same 2 Surefire CR123 batteries in my duty Surefire 6P that I put in 2 years ago. I use this light every evening on duty.

Got a bunch of surefires but still on the original set in every light and laser I own.

What make and model of light do you use 11b?

 

[SoonerShooter08]

Most economical and convenient batteries I've found are the 12 packs of Streamlight batteries off Amazon. Runs about $20 and you get 'em in two days if you have Prime.

The light in question is a Sig Sauer Stoplite, it's a forward grip with a laser and light all in one, it uses four batteries at a time, maybe I just got a bad set. I've owned it for a couple of years, I changed out the first set in June only because I put it in a backpack and somehow the on button got pushed and was like that till I got home that evening, the batteries were very weak by the time I got home that day. The first set of surefires was put in, at the end of June(22-23). I just put in the second set of surefires a few days ago. The light has had very little run time between June and now, I'd say 98-99% standby time on the first set of surefires.
