Looking for an older surefire battery
« on: December 29, 2013, 05:41:56 PM »
I got this light at a yard sale for free and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a new battery or maybe a charger for this one. It's older and no longer listed on sure fires website

Pacific Power batteries has those. Both factory and aftermarket (for much cheaper). I got mine there for my Streamlight.

That looks like 3 #CR 123 lithium rechargeables bundled together.  Is that light Halogen or LED?  If you don't have the charger, I would just use CR 123's.  They last forever!

I got a battery for one of my old cellphones from batteries4less.com.  Check them out for price, too.

That's the trouble with older stuff.  Sometimes the batteries are a proprietary size, and hard to find!

email Surefire and ask them what will work, that's your best bet. Then go ONLINE and buy them. BatteriesPlus type of stores will charge you double from what you can get online. Be there, done that. I asked for an off brand battery and it worked perfectly until it got worn out from use. Rechargables are the way to go.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

I took apart a laptop battery and it had 6 or 8 18650 batteries connected together.   I separated them and got a charger to charge them up individually.   They work great in a high power flashlight that I have.   They are 2.5 inches long each.  They might be able to replace that surefire battery.

According to my electronic guru, the most you can get out of a single cell or battery is 3 volts.  that's why when you take apart a 9 volt battery, you find that it's actually three 3 volt batteries.  Now that batteries 101 is over, Campmeat is right--you will do a lot better online, both in finding and buying the battery.  You might even find a charger, too, which you probably won't find locally, being an obsolete size....  :twocents:
