A salt, and battery

[unixronin]

CR123A lithium batteries, specifically.  Anyone on my FL know a good place to buy them online that DOESN'T work out as expensive by the time you pay shipping as just going to a regular brick-and-mortar store?  I just went to buy some replacement batteries for my Inova X0 LED flashlight (which takes two CR123As), and even if I bought four sets, by the time I paid the cheapest shipping offered (USPS priority mail), they're $4.50 a set shipped.  At that price, I might as well buy them at Lowes and not have to wait for them to get here.

Oh, the salt?  In a CR-123 lithium cell, it's most likely manganese dioxide.

Oh, If I recall, I found out about those on a LEO forum.

Some people remarked that they lasted about 80% of what some of the others did (and I've forgotten the brands they said were better). But many people pointed out that those brands were 300% the price, making these still, by far, the best deal.)

I would have 6 of the 12 left, except for the night stage of IDPA a couple of years ago - when several people had flashlights die. And paid me $2 each and were estatic.
