Title: Looking for an older surefire battery
Post by: Bmcox86 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

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!

There are a few stores in the north end, Everett, Marysville, Monroe.

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.

Post by: Greenhorn on January 01, 2014, 08:27:47 PM: 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.

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:
