Anyone compared surefire cr123 vs streamlight cr123 batteries?

Actually there have been and according to tests Surefire do last longer (shelf life) and hold a charge longer than Streamlight. I have used both and found that Surefire CR123's tend to last longer in lasers and flashlights (65-250 lumens). If I remember correctly there is no 10 years shelf life on Streamlight packaging. Not sure how much credence I would put in that, just what I have experienced and what I have read and personal experience. http://www.stoppingpower.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18638

Surefire SF123a batteries are better by far! Streamlight doesn't sell as many, so it's close to impossible to get freshly made Streamlight CR123a batteries.The last Streamlight batteries I purchased only had about 2 years left before there expiration date.I specifically bought them to serve as backup batteries, or emergency batteries, but with such little time left, they were not the answer to my problem.Surefire SF123a batteries are made by Panasonic, arguably the best lithium batteries made.They sell a lot, and you can be assured that you get freshly made batteries.All of my Surefire storage batteries have an expiration date of 2022.

These come with Surefire123A 3V batteries that can be ordered either individually or in packs of 10 (I believe) on Amazon. They do not use standard AAA or AA batteries like some other lights. Still a fantastic light.

If that stream light requires the CR123A battery then I would image that these batteries would work

I found the standard CR123 on the internet for about $2 each, and just bought several for back ups. This light is a great little light. I use it to blood trail (bowhunt deer). It is extremely bright, but not physically heavy to keep in the bag I carry into the woods.

As long as they take the 18650 they will. I am very happy with mine. They last 5 times longer then cr123's best buy for me. Make sure you get the green Panasonic batteries with it, good luck, scoobydenon...

I went to Batteries + and they gave me (2) two CR123A batteries that work great. Bought a 6 pack.

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.

I have a TN 12 they fit in. I looked up TN 32 and it says it takes the 18650 batteries. I also have ultrafire wf501b they fit also. These cree lights are great and really bright. Hope this helps.

No it will not charge cr123... Don't waste ur $$$$ on those batteries. The best bet is buy the 18650 rechargeable. It can be very expensive if u only use cr123... The flashlight is awesome tho. Best small light I ever bought

The 18650 batteries are rechargeable but the CR123 batteries are not. It is best to only charge the batteries when they are dead. You will get more life out of the batteries and they will last longer.

Not sure about damage, but my flashlight (FENIX) worked with those, but company recommended TENERGY 18650 rechargeable. One 18650 same size as two CR123s. TENERGYs hold charge longer. Should work for you, John, but email to your LEGACY company should confirm it for you.

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.

Surefire sells Rechargeable Batteries, known as RCR123 batteries. Also recommend RCR123 by the Tenergy company.

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!

I think the Surefire website would be more trustworthy, but every other retailer has it listed at 500 lumens. Either way it's hella bright and a damn good flashlight.

The CR123's are brighter but you will spend a fair amount of money vs the rechargeable 18650's. One more tip, the 18650's will fit perfectly in one of those survival match tube's. Great for carrying a spare battery. This will be your favorite flashlight.

3 Volt CR123A. Takes two. Surefire brand is very good you can sometimes find deals online. Good shelf life so you can save buying in bulk. Hope that helps. Can't say enough about the light. I have had it for a long time,carry it daily and it takes a beating. Great customer support too
