Streamlight 85177 CR123A Lithium Batteries, 3 V, 12 Count

I used to buy my batteries from Costco, Walmart or Batteries Plus. This model of battery cost me between $2.50 and $3.50 each, depending where I could find them. They weren't always available where I usually shop. I decided to check Amazon for these batteries since Amazon had almost everything else and, low and behold, here they were. Not only were they available, but I could buy a dozen batteries for less than $1.60 each. I couldn't even find these batteries at Costco on my last visit (sometimes they have them, sometimes they don't) Batteries Plus sells this exact same battery, 12 ea., for $26.99 and Walmart sell these same batteries for $33.83. Amazon sell these for $18.66 and, if you're an Amazon Prime member, shipping is FREE! I use these batteries to power two different handgun laser sites and five different flashlights which are mounted to five different weapons, from pistols, to rigles and shotguns.This is just some of the equipment that I and my fellow officers use during our duty day. If the batteries that power our various pieces of electronic equipment are unreliable it could someone to be injured or killed. That being said, I have the upmost confidence in these batteries. These batteries work fine and have lasted a bit longer than the "popular, name brand" batteries. Because of the lower price of these batteries, when compared to what other stores offer, I can order a bunch and keep enough extras on-hand at work to not only replace my batteries as necessary, but to also provide batteries for my fellow officers in the event that their batteries wear out. Bottom line, these batteries work as well and a bit better than the "name brand" batteries, they cost a lot less and they seem to "always" be available through Amazon, unlike the other stores where I've bought these batteries where it's hit or miss that they'll be in stock. My life and the lives of my fellow officers and civilians depend on these batteries working properly to power our equipment. I would not recommend these batteries to anyone if I didn't rely on these batteries myself. Considering the dependability, superior value, equivelent battery life and ready availability, I'll be buying these and other batteries from Amazon from now on. An additional bonus is that I won't have to drive into town for batteries anymore, saving me a bunch of money in gas. So.....if anyone can find a better battery at a better price let me know. I have a feeling that I won't be hearing from anyone any time soon.

As I age my eyes do not see in the dark as well as they once did. I carry a small flashlight in my EDC pack. I have to work nights and need the flashlight often. I would be stuck if the battery died in the middle of a job. I use this light because of its size and the beam it produces. Unfortunately, the batteries seem to, die suddenly. The CR 123 battery is perfect to carry and have it ready to switch out when needed. This pack has quality batteries at a fair price.

Long-Lasting Power You Can Count On These Streamlight CR123A lithium batteries are excellent performers. I’ve been using them in high-drain flashlights, and they hold up very well—much longer than the cheaper alternatives I’ve tried. They arrive fresh, individually packaged, and ready to go, which is nice for storage and easy to keep in a bag or drawer without worrying about contacts touching. What I especially like is their reliability. When you put them in, the flashlight works at full brightness right away—no dim or inconsistent performance. They also have a long shelf life, so even if you don’t use them right away, you know they’ll still be good years down the line. Something to keep in mind: these are not rechargeable. For me, that’s a plus since it keeps them simple and dependable, but if you’re looking for a rechargeable option, you’ll need to choose a different type. Bottom line: Great value and peace of mind for flashlights, cameras, and other gear where dependable power really matters.

These were the cheapest 2 pack available when I needed two batteries. Allegedly made in USA too. They have good rated capacity and work as expected.

Batteries were exactly as described, came in sealed package, great value, work well. NOT bulletproof. Pro tip: for rarely used, crucial life-safety tools, consider changing out batteries on your birthday (at the very least) so they are always ready.

Always keep these on hand for whenever we may need them. Last a long time. Very pleased .

These are consistent and rugged. I use daily in my flashlight for work. They don’t leak or self discharge like other batteries.

Great battery life, no overheating, leaking or anything. Came as advertised. Easy install
