My local gun store has these batteries for my Defender Ultra.A box of 12 is18.00, which is great. He was closed on Monday so I got 2-123a-at Dollar General. With tax included, it was 14.00 and some change. Next time, I'll wait on my Surefire batteries.
I LOVE my Surefire products and ONLY use Surefire batteries, why would you use anything else?! Cmon people!! Thats like buying a turbo charged Mustang and running walmart regular gas in it!! Big no no!
Still using outdated battery technology. Just switch to 18650s. Only reason I won’t buy a surefire is because you don’t make lights that use rechargeable cells. A dual 123 light setup is fucking pointless when 18650s exist.
@@allemander ahhhh yes the rare dft released in summer 2022 haha. Dude…my point is their flagship models don’t have it. Surefire is still trying to sell all their 123 branded battery stock. It’s a fucking trash business model. If they got on board with rechargeable cell tech like everyone else did 10 years ago they would have sold the fuck out of lights and I would have bought one myself. But unfortunately they are behind the curve because they are pretentious and obviously over priced. When it comes to an edc light…or a weapon light…having a larger rechargeable cell battery is simply better. Period. Everyone knows it except surefire. Surefire needs to abandon 123 cells that fucking die by just sitting idle. Trash ass old tech.
@@seanyo2222 I’ve used these in my DFT without issue, I got them from Zebralight online: “Sanyo NCR18650GA 3500mAh 10A 18650 Li-ion Flat Top”. They’re pretty standard cells so I would imagine any 10A or higher cell would power the DFT. It most likely won’t turn on with a lower amperage cell.
Careful. Just received an order. They are sending out C123A's with only 9 years 4 months left on them. Not even close!

Super Surefire, 🇺🇸👍
Is the new x50 the same footprint as the x35?
how to know or read the date?
Is there a difference between CR123 and CR123A?
The CR123 are slightly longer.
Can I use rechargeable cr123a batteries in my surefire lights?
E2T-MV, X300, M600, M600 W/IR, M300, and M300 W/IR.
Woundering the same thing
In most cases the 16650 fit and work great if it takes 2xCR123
K2 Energy brand LFP 123A rechargeable batteries are safe to use in any Surefire flashlight that accepts standard lithium CR123 batteries.

Sometimes you don't have a choice.Read my post up top.I agree 100%.
Rechargeable 16650ies are much cheaper and work also. Also its more ecological.
@@Gieszkannein SHTF that’s not a concern for me.
@@davidlocke1668 In an SHTF at some point it might be easier to recharch a battery when you cant get some CR123 anymore.

In most of their lights which need two CR123 16650ies work great.
The Surefire DFT (dual fuel tactical) lights accept 18650 batteries.

Will they accept any 18650 or only the SF 18650 batteries?
