CR123As - where to buy, preferably bulk

surebet · August 8th, 2007, 21:59

Yeah, UPS is the devil's whore. Pay extra for another courrier if you have to.

For small orders you can get them for $1.50 a cell from http://www.batterystation.com/cr123a.htm (house brand)
They will ship via USPS unless the order gets too big.

As for the rechargeable 123's - DO RESEARCH.
a. most of them are 3.7v NOT 3.0v (means they will break your shit if it cannot take the extra voltage)
b. unprotected cells will explode if they are over discharged or over charged (if you don't know what that means or know how to prevent it - don't use em)
c. protected rechargeable 123's have electronics in them that prevent over current situations and shut the cell down - this does not work well with high current lamps like p60's or p61's - If a cell shuts down - you have to put it back on the charger to reset it. If this is the case with your light - you will have to risk using unprotected cells or just don't bother.

As for getting them - look to the following links:

I grabbed a set of 30 off ebay for $36 with shipping, etc.. I feel like this is the best deal we can get.

DuffMan · August 20th, 2007, 20:50

I pm'd him 2-3 weeks ago regarding alternative payment methods, but he didn't reply. So, I assumed they don't, or they didn't deem a 18$(gun tape) purchase important enough to reply to

Either way, I ordered my stuff from them, and still have a few more things to get from them.

DuffMan · August 21st, 2007, 04:36

Hmmm...I might too, want to group it together?

Boink!

Prices on eBay are about 95¢-1$ shipped for unknown brand cells, anyone have something better in 50-500 quantities?
