Where is the best (ie fastest shipping and lowest price) place to order batteries from?

Also, I'm a little confused about batteries... I have a SP2, and I'm looking to order a couple extra batteries for it. The two that came with it are marked "LC 16340 800mAh 3.6v". Seems simple enough. But I've noticed that there are also 16340 batteries marked 800mAh, 880mAh, and 1000mAh, 3.6v, and 3.7v.:confused:
Are they all the same size? If so, I assume that the ones with the highest voltage, and mAh rating would be best to order. Or am I missing something here?

All protected 16340 batteries should fit. They should all be within a mm or two of each other in length, and the spring in your mod should make up the difference. I say "should" because, well, you never know. The mAh rating is battery capacity. The higher the rating, the more juice the battery holds. Most manufacturers outright lie about the capacity of their batteries though, so don't take it as gospel.

I just bought some Tenergy LifePo4 RCR123A rechargeable batteries from batteryjunction dot com. The price for one is $3.49. I paid $3.29 apiece when I ordered 4. UPSP Priority Mail shipping was $5.95 and they take PayPal. Pretty good deal, all things considered.

I'm using Powerizer brand batteries in a Silver Bullet right now, but my experience with the Tenergy's is that they are a better quality and higher capacity battery. They last about 8 hours on a Prodigy V2 at 5v.
