Batteries – Frequently Asked Questions

Are the 123A lithium batteries rechargeable?
No! Do not try to recharge them, as this can be dangerous.


Must I use SureFire batteries in my flashlight?
You can use Panasonic®, Duracell® and Energizer® batteries bought from their authorized dealers since these batteries are suited for use in SureFire products.


Will using non-SureFire brand batteries void my SureFire warranty?
Using genuine Panasonic®, Duracell® or Energizer® batteries will not void your warranty, but using any other non-SureFire brand will void it.


Aren't all lithium batteries the same?
No! Many counterfeit or inferior lithium batteries don't have the power output characteristics or built-in fault (short-circuit) protection that SureFire batteries have. This can cause poor performance or even be dangerous to you and your SureFire illumination tools.


    Customers should never:
  • Use non-U.S.A. made batteries
  • Mix old and new batteries
  • Mix different brands of batteries
  • Purchase and use batteries marked "PRC" or "Made in China"


How can I be sure a SureFire battery is not counterfeit?
Buy your SureFire® brand batteries from www.surefire.com (priced as low as $1.75 each when bought in bulk), or from an authorized SureFire dealer.
