These are excellent cells. I have never had a problem with them. Please follow safety instructions and do not use mixed lithium cells together. Google 'vent with flame' to find out why.

To D. annino who gave these cells a one star for receiving expired cells. The date code on these cells is in week/year format and is a MANUFACTURE date, not an expiration date. You most likely didn't receive expired cells.

Other reviews attest to the longevity of these cells, I can't here as I have just rec'd them. However, a priority to myself is where these batteries are made (I hear a lot of complaining from folks about sending jobs overseas, I feel the same way). This is just to report that on the battery, it says it's made in the USA, and the price is certainly very fair. Enjoy.

Good price. Price cannot be beaten.. many stores don't carry this type of batteries. And those who do carry, charge about $16 for a pair. As for reliability/quality, they have used in my ADT system for over 2 months without a problem.

When you purchase lithium batteries always purchase a reputable brand name. Streamlight is a reputable source for cr123 lithium batteries.

These are good brand name cells and to clarify THEY ARE NOT EXPIRED! I called streamlight and they use a strange system. They time stamp the batteries with a 4 digit number for example mine say 3210 this means the battery was made in the thirty second week of 2010 if you do the math they were made in August 2010 cr123 lithiums last 10 years so these guys are good to go till 2020 and I just bought them Oct. 2010. PURCHASE IN CONFIDENCE! The reason I give four stars instead of five is because they did not come packaged in the storage case pictured instead they were wrapped in the flimsy old plastic battery box you see most batteries in at the supermarket and they got loose during shipping so when I got them they were rattling in the box. Not a big deal but hey it's not what you see in the picture. Final word... BUY!

I bought the batteries to store for my StreamlightPT2L and Streamlight Sidewinder Compact, the batteries were manufactured around the end of July/beginning of August and since they have a 10 year shelf life I should be good to go for quite some time.

I would buy these batteries again, probably in a few years when I have need for them again. Thank you amazon and syreamlight for providing quality bulk cr123a batteries at an affordable price.

I have been using Surefire batteries for a number of years. I bought these batteries to save some money. I have found out that they last just as long as Surefire batteries.

I gave this product 4 stars because the packaging is not as pictured from Amazon. The generic packaging used does not securely hold the batteries and is in need of improvement. Otherwise the batteries look fine.

You simply cannot go wrong with this purchase if you are looking for 3v CR123A cells. The price is low, the quality is high, the shipping is fast. My package was not the first type shown but similar to what another user had uploaded, a thin plastic resealable retail package. I purchased these Pill cases to store singles in when traveling for backups. I typically use 18650s in my light but bought these to have as a backup for emergencies or extended power outages. They will last a long time.

This price was too good to be true! 1/3 of these barely put out 1v. The others still won't fully power my tactical flashlight. Looks like I will be buying these locally from now on.
