I've been very happy with the 123 batteries sold by Surefire. Much less expensive than those from local stores, optimized for the type of service seen in flashlights, and so last a long time in use. I have 10 Surefire flashlights.

The surefire 123A batteries they last a long time and the flash light seemed brighter with that name brand.

I have both P2X & P3X, I always use the surefire CR123As, I've never used any Chinese imitations because I've heard they don't last as long and can over heat. So yeah always go with Surefire CR123a.
165901
Use Surefire C123. Have purchased off brands and they have not lasted as long as the Surefire.

If you are Not use everyday better you use Surefire battery. If you use everyday better you use recharge battery and remember from 3V to3.2V and protect.

I use the Surefire A23 batteries. When I purchased, I also purchased a box of these batteries. I have not yet had to change the original set that came with the light and have used it mostly on low output, but about 1 hour total on high output. I have had the light for 2 months now.

Surefire SF123A. There are other three volt batteries but I have seen pictures of what happens when using cheaper camera batteries in a flashlight. Google it!

The best batteries in my opinion are the SureFire 123A lithium 3 volt batteries, They are very reasonably priced. I have another make of flashlight that came with a well-known brand of batteries and I replaced them with the SureFire batteries. The beam was much brighter.

I use Surefire 123 batteries. You can buy them in bulk, both on Amazon and at the Surefire website.

I use surefire 123A batteries (SF12-BB Box of 12 Bat). They are very good and cheaper than most other brands.

you can substitute the rechargeable batt with 2 #123 batteries ... that are about $10.00 each, but you MAY want to buy a different flashlight, mine lasted only 5 min before the switch broke.

My light uses "ultrafire li-ion 18650" batteries, which are rechargable Lithium-ion cells, and go for about $5 a pair complete with charger at amazon.18650 3000mAh 3.7V Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery + Charger Combo

Radio Shack Brand Ultralast #18500 Lithium Phosphate 3.2V Battery. I dont normally do this but i am suggesting you return that flashlight while u still can. I had purchased two and had to return one almost instantly after receiving it and the second is dead. No matter how many diff fully charged batteries i replace in it, it refuses to work. Trust me SEND IT BACK. Pelican makes a less exspensive dive light that works very well.

Any 18650 battery will do. The higher the mAh you buy the in these the longer the light will run between charges. I'd stick with name brand 18650's BTW - Panasonic, Samsung, etc. The low cost/low quality 18650 are certainly cheap but they can be dangerous.

it use UltraFire BRC 18650 3.7V "4000mAh" Li-ion Batteries Battery or any of these batteries: 18650 4000 mAh 3.7V Li-ion Rechargeable Battery. This is a amazing high lumen cree, but the battery consumption is high.

The only batteries I've used so far are Titanium Innovations CR123's and the Orbtronic 3400 18650b here http://amzn.com/B00BJ8W3KC. No problems with either!

I know this is going to make me sound like a smartass, but... an Elzetta Bravo. I love that flashlight. I've used Surefire, 4sevens and others. The Elzetta is what I have mounted right now.

I recommend using the Surefire brand CR123 batteries. They are quite reasonably priced! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UX93OQ

I have a lot of different UltraFire flashlights. All are very bright. if the model does not use the 3.7V Lithium battery, the model is designed for three AAA batteries. I never saw a model that uses AA batteries.

Yeah, I just bought a M18 battery and one of these flashlights. They will NOT work together!

1 Ultrafire(but search other companies i'm sure there are better ones) 14500 1200mAh 3.7v Li-Ion. that's the one i got, i get a good hour on them.

It uses a CR123 battery. These batteries are expensive, mainly used in photography. I suggest purchasing rechargeable batteries from Surefire.

If you are interested in a flashlight that will last a long time before having to be recharged, then look for those that use the 26650 batteries - either one, two or three (with an extension tube). Too many 18650 batteries with the UltraFire name are counterfeit.

I only know these batteries work very well in my Surefire E2D LED Defender. I numbered and rotate the pairs.I'm very happy with the kit.

I hate flashlights with C & D batteries as the batteries leak upon death. Therefore I purchased several LED flashlights using the same type of battery used in the strikelight #BRC 18650 in higher capacity. I purchased 5,000 mAh battery for my strikelight Tm. The cost is far less than replacement standard C & D flashlight batteries. I would guess that the 5,000 mAh battery should reach that 5 hour mark if only the flashlight was used for the test. My Striklight Tm was received as a gift and it's in my car. The larger battery is great for long term storage but I would charge it yearly.

The light takes the 18650 3000mAh 3.7V Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery. You have to buy that separately. Try an UltraFire, they work fine. BUT...as for the light, see my review on this scope combo. The light is the worst part of it - you'll want to buy a better light. Still worth the cost overall.
