SB batteries and charger????

[jiff]

Where can I get the batteries/chargers for the SB? I wanted to get everything all at once later this week but I have no idea if altsmoke will have the batteries and charger stocked by then. Anyone have an alternative site where I could order those or have info on when altsmoke will be restocked?

Batteryjunction.com but they will be stocked by friday ;P

Which is better?

Combo Kit: 6 RCR123A 3.0V 750mAh LiFePO4 Rechargeable Batteries with a Smart Charger

4 Pack RCR123A 3V 900mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery with Smart Charger

Only difference I can tell is the mAh rating.... and a half a millimeter diameter.

I got the combo pack with 6 batts, although it has only been a few weeks I don't have any complaints.

Ya, I use the same batts (got'em from a different supplier though) and no complaints... But it seems the 4 pack is rated at 900 mAh instead of 750 mAh... thinking they will last even longer? But they are a tiny bit smaller, I dunno if they would line up right in the SB.

Chad says the 750mah batts aren't really designed to work with the SB. He suggests the 900mah.

Just FYI

Battery junction has two different styles of tenergy 18650 batteries, both are 3.7v, rated 2600 mah. One is a flat top and the other says "pack-building tabs". Which one of these should i get for a BSB i'm ordering this week? I'm getting the tenergy RCR123A 900mah batts from the link above for 6 volts, but want one for 3.7v too...

Are the rcr and cr123a batteries charger specific? Or can I use the Trustfire tr-001 charge sold for the 18650's? Any thoughts?

The ones with the tabs. And you should look at the thread I just posted IE - batteryjunction chargers/18650s.

No. At least from what I've seen, the rcr 3v 900mah have a specific charger.

Here's one rated 3000mah DealExtreme: $15.36 UltraFire Protected 18650 3.7V 3000mAh Lithium Batteries (2-Pack). I bought the 2600mah (red) protected http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.28677

The 3000mAh seem to have issues, best to stick with the 2600/2400
