Best source for batteries and chargers?

Did a search and didn't find much so thought I'd post a query for all you old-timers out there...

Who's the best vendor for batteries and chargers for Vamo batteries?

RTD Vapor for some AW batteries and either XTAR or Nitecore i4 charger. Also check Amazon for some Panasonic batteries... highly recommended here for the Vamo, although myself, I just use AW's.

I got a Nitecore i4 off Amazon a few weeks ago for $24.99 and free shipping. It works well and will recharge a large variety of batteries including the 18650 and 18350. I can't remember who I got the batteries from don't get them off Ebay. Ebay is a dumping ground for phony and/or relabeled inferior batteries from China imo.

If you live in the US orbtronic.com is a very good source for high-drain panasonic and chargers.

If you can wait for shipping from China FastTech is a good place to get batteries and chargers. I ordered some of the Panasonics from them and they made it to me in about ten days. However, it's better if a "whenever" delivery time is OK when ordering from overseas.
