Lithium vs. Alkaline: Understanding the Superiority of SureFire 123A

A common question revolves around the choice between lithium and alkaline batteries. While alkaline batteries are widely available and often cheaper upfront, their limitations become apparent in high-drain applications and challenging environments.

Here’s why SureFire 123A Lithium Batteries are the superior choice, especially for performance-critical devices:

• Voltage Stability Under Load: Lithium batteries maintain a higher, more stable voltage throughout their discharge cycle compared to alkaline batteries. This translates to consistent brightness and performance from your flashlight or device until the battery is nearly depleted, avoiding the gradual dimming often experienced with alkalines.
• High Current Delivery: SureFire 123A batteries are designed to deliver high currents quickly and efficiently, which is essential for powerful LED flashlights and other devices that demand significant power output instantaneously. Alkaline batteries struggle to meet these demands, leading to reduced performance.
• Weight Advantage: Lithium batteries are significantly lighter than their alkaline counterparts of the same size, contributing to a lighter overall load for your gear—a crucial factor for tactical users and hikers.
• Temperature Performance: As highlighted, lithium excels in extreme temperatures where alkaline batteries notoriously falter. Alkaline batteries lose significant capacity in cold weather and are prone to leakage in high heat, issues largely absent with SureFire 123A lithium cells.
• Leakage Prevention: Alkaline batteries are prone to leakage, which can corrode battery compartments and permanently damage electronic devices. Lithium batteries, including SureFire 123A, are far less susceptible to leakage, offering superior protection for your valuable equipment.
• Shelf Life: The ten-year shelf life of SureFire 123A lithium batteries vastly outpaces the typical 3-5 year shelf life of alkaline batteries, making them ideal for long-term storage and emergency preparedness.

Investing in SureFire 123A Lithium Batteries is not just about powering your device; it's about safeguarding its performance and extending its lifespan, while ensuring you have dependable light exactly when and where you need it.

Ensuring Peak Performance and Longevity: Best Practices for Your SureFire 123A Batteries

To maximize the life and reliability of your SureFire 123A Lithium Batteries, and by extension, your SureFire devices, adhere to these simple best practices:

1. Storage: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original packaging or a dedicated battery storage case is ideal to prevent accidental short-circuits.
2. Mixing Batteries: Never mix old and new batteries, or different brands/types of batteries within the same device. This can lead to inefficient power delivery, reduced performance, and potential leakage or damage.
3. Disposal: Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations. Do not throw them in household trash; look for designated battery recycling centers.
4. Inspection: Before insertion, visually inspect batteries for any signs of damage or corrosion. If a battery appears compromised, do not use it.
5. Remove When Not in Use: For devices stored for extended periods, especially those with high power draws even when off, consider removing the batteries to prevent phantom drain and ensure maximum battery life when truly needed.

By following these guidelines, you ensure that the advanced engineering of SureFire 123A Lithium Batteries continues to provide you with the unwavering power and performance you expect from SureFire products. The SKU for this essential box of 12 batteries is SF12-BB, a simple identifier for a critical component of your tactical and preparedness toolkit.
