Overview of the SureFire 123A Lithium Batteries | SF123A
When your light dies in the middle of a search, you lose the scene. SureFire 123A Lithium Batteries (SF123A) are 3-volt CR123A cells built for high-drain flashlights and weapon lights. SureFire states they are optimized for its own lights, and they fit any device that takes a 123A battery.
Pick the setup that fits you. Choose from seven pack sizes, from 2 spares to bulk cases of 38,400, and three packaging styles: box, clamshell, or carded retail pack. Each SureFire SF123A cell is made in the USA, rated at 1,550 mAh, and carries a 10-year shelf life.
Why Officers and Preppers Choose 123A Lithium
-
Twice the voltage: one 3-volt lithium cell delivers twice the voltage of a 1.5-volt alkaline cell in a smaller package.
-
Ready after storage: SureFire states its lithium cells outperform alkaline batteries and hold their charge far longer on the shelf.
-
Drop-in fit: replaces CR123A, DL123A, and EL123AP cells.

Compatibility
These cells fit any flashlight, weapon light, laser, camera, or security sensor designed for 3-volt 123A (CR123A) lithium batteries. SureFire states they are optimized for SureFire lights.
Intended Users
Patrol officers and SWAT teams use 123A cells to keep handheld lights and weapon lights running through long shifts and night calls. Firefighters, EMS crews, and security guards carry spares so a dead light never slows a search or a building check. Agency quartermasters, security companies, and retailers buy bulk cases or carded packs to supply a whole roster or a store shelf. Military members, preppers, and hunters stock these cells in go-bags and emergency kits because of the 10-year shelf life. Homeowners also use them in cameras and alarm sensors that call for CR123A batteries.
