I need some CR123A batteries for my SF-24D flash. They seem to be very expensive, with Henrys selling the Energizer version at $9.99 a piece! Vistek sells a generic brand "Verta" at $7.99 a piece.

Also, does anyone know if I can use this instead? Just for my knowledge, not that they are any cheaper.

Any ideas where to buy them at a cheaper rate???

How often do you go through those batteries? It might be worth picking up a rechargeable set instead. I've never used this product before, but it may be worth a shot:

Well, I buy my CR2's which are also similarly priced at (better) dollar stores...I get name-brand CR2's (like Panasonic) for $5 or less.

Keep in mind the some rechargeable ones from DX are 3.6V. May fried some electronics like it did on my 800 lumen flashlight.
