whats up lovely people of the reo threads? quick question, where is the best USA based place to get all my battery needs? i need 14500's, 18650's, and a new charger but everywhere i go it seems they only have 14500's and no 18650's. or have both batteries but no chargers lol . i want to get it all in one shot seeing as im on a budget and i only want to pay shipping once (and not from china).

thanks in advance.

Oveready currently has everything in stock OVEREADY Flashlights/Torches - Control The Dark

thats funny, i checked about 2 hours ago on oveready and they were out of the 139 chargers and imr 18650's. must have updated right after i left. rtd seems pretty reasonable.

as a mtter of fact, i still had the old oveready window minamized and still says out of stock lol. comparing the 2 pages it looks like prices went up a bit for the chargers too.

LOL, it's showing in stock for me. Maybe they had to take them off the site to change the price?

may have been, pila went up a dollar and so did the 139 lol. i dont think i will mind the extra dollar though. last time i ordered from them the owner shipped on sat. for me. i guess i may spend a couple extra dollars on his site since its all in stock now and he treated me well on my first order.

Randy at RTD vapor has extremely quick shipping, great prices, and customer service that is on-par with Roberts. I can't say enough good things about the guy! :2cool:

BTW, he also has aw lifepo4 batts for HV reo grand/woodvil use...

AND he's a fellow REOnaut to boot :vapor:

My favorite battery vendor. Family owned and good people!

Good prices on batts but OMG I thought we were crazy with the $$$$ we spend on mods. WTF some of those flashlights are $400 bucks. I am not sure what you do with a flashlight light that costs that much. Unless it came with a laser that could burn through 1/4" steel I am not seeing the need for a flashlight of that caliber!

Well now, highend flaslights are like highend mods, you get what you pay for. If, say you were a Law Enforcement Officer and your life depended on the light working would you want a cheap POS you bought at Wallyworld or one thats got a proven track record for being extremely dependable? I have 3, of what you would call high dollar led lights. One is next to my my .40cal pistol on my night stand, one in the door pocket in my truck, and one in my hunting items. All 3 of which I have no question work if I need them to...:) (I sure a heck didn't get rapped on the prices of mine like these "battery and flashlight" specialty stores try to do though...)
