SureFire SF12-BB Boxed Batteries, (12 Pack)

These are a great CR123a battery. They exceed their shelf life. They maintain their charge and always supply reliable and consistent use. My go to battery in this size. These are worth the price and it’s closest competitor are Energizer Lithium 123a. Highly recommended for high current draw devices like tactical and weapons light.

We own multiple SureFire flashlights with rechargeable batteries, but like to keep plenty of these for extended outages during hurricane season. Surefire batteries have always proven reliable, and we’ve never had one leak in a flashlight. Surprisingly, they’re also cheaper than the Energizer equivalent, and sometimes even cheaper than generics. My only criticism is that they no longer stamp the production date on the boxes. They’re guaranteed to last 10 years in storage, but without the production date it’s a best guess as to how old they are when you buy them. Frustrating because SureFire has always done this in the past. I’m guessing resellers had an interest in stopping this because it probably became difficult to sell their stock of batteries if they weren’t the most current batch. Our general workaround is to write the purchase date in permanent marker on the individual boxes whenever we buy them.Overall, easy recommendation for these batteries. Reliable OEM performance from SureFire at a very competitive price.

Always great quality batteries grin my EDC flashlight. Last longer than others.

I've been using Surefire CR123 batteries for many years now in flashlights, weather station and outdoor gear. Never an issue, they last quite a long time. Bought in a box of 12 the price is much better than at a retail store from what I've seen, so a good value. And they have around 10 year shelf life.

Work great in my Surefire light.

High prices to pay for the sun in your pocket.

I first purchased Surefire 3V batteries (12 pack) in December 2014. Have placed three more orders with the latest being March 2019. They are good batteries or I have been very lucky. I have bought from four separate vendors and all of my batteries have been fully charged and long lasting. The 12 batteries in my last order all showed 3.4V DC using a Beckman Tech 310 meter.I left Surefire on one occasion last year when Netgear strongly suggested that I use Panasonic batteries in my new Arlosecurity cameras. Bad experience. Most of the Panasonic batteries I received were partially discharged and lasted forjust a few days in my cameras. So, I went back to Surefire. From previous experience I am confidant they will last several months in either my Streamlight PolyTac flashlights or my Arlo cameras.Now, Netgear warns of counterfeit and inferior-quality batteries. And, I have read warnings online. I don't know how the consumer can spot a counterfeit just by looks. Maybe another reviewer could relate an experience. Wikipedia states that SureFire, LLC, is an established company in Fountain Valley CA which makes products for the U. S. military and law enforcement agencies. The batteries that I just bought came in their signature red and black box with a paper seal on the top. Printing on the box says "Made in USA", Fountain Valley, CA., and UL (Underwriters Laboratory) Recognized Component. The expiration code on my last set of batteries is 06-2028.I called this an ongoing review, because I will be back with another review if I have any problems with Surefire.Cheers

Always buy the SureFire. Always buy in bulk. Excellent shelf life for a couple of years. The amount of charge gives a long operating battery life. I highly recommend this original. Confirm the date on the batteries before purchase. If you can. This ensures the best life in your cabinet
