RCR123 Batteries and Chargers?

[Ben]

Anyone here using RCR123 batteries? Looking for recommendations on batteries and chargers.

Not I, but I think we had a thread here last year about rechargeable batteries.

I use 123 batteries in my Surefire but not rechargables.  Why spend that money when I can get them most of the time through supply.

I, too, am interested in a 123 charger for my Streamlight.

Batteries @ $7.00 each is ridiculous.

Problem with Streamlight (I have some) is that they state "no rechargeables" in their warranty, much like Surefire. I believe mostly because RCR123s had been a bit twitchy on keeping a steady voltage. I was just wondering if newer ones had gotten better.

People seem to be using them in Fenix lights, but I don't have one of those. I was mostly looking at them both for my rangefinder, and because I was doing my year-end checks of bugout bags and stuff, also for use in my MSR MIOX and Steripen water purifiers.

Where you getting your batteries?

Here is a 12 pack for $22 and they are Surefire brand.

That's a pretty good price for 123's. Thanks for the linkage!
