Batterries for Surefire Scout lights

[Darius137]

I have a Surefire Scout Light M600C weapon-mounted light and I can't seem to fit the CR123A batteries into it.

I thought I had the wrong batteries, but the CR123A battery listed for the scout fits into my PentagonLight MS2 weapon-mounted light. Well, technically it's listing "123A" batteries for the scout light, but after googling around, I figured it just meant that they weren't rechargeable, or lithium, or surefire wants to sell me batteries in a monogamous relationship.

I'm wondering, is there a difference between specficially Surefire 123A and regular CR123A batteries? I'm guessing I'll have to get specific batteries from Surefire, but I'd prefer the option of last minute running to the store.

I've used several no-name brands of 123a's in my 6P, never had this issue. Have you tried any other brands of 123a's other than what you have?

CR123 batteries are all the same, last I knew.

Pick up two surefire brand batteries for four (Five?) dollars at Lowes, hanging by the cash registers. REI also sells a pack of 12(?) for fourteen bucks.

They're really good batteries, and are still cheaper than the Energizer/etc counterparts.

yeah, last i checked CR123As were pretty universal. i used the surefire ones that came with my 636 until they died, and then i put some regular ones in. i think the brand was titanium. both sets worked equally well.

I have a CR123A that fits into my PentagonLight and it is definitely too large for the Scout Light.

The 123A is pretty universal, until now. My other surefire light even uses it. I'm guessing either I'm an idiot or it shrank in the wash, but the Scout is a very thin light.

Are the batteries re-chargeable ones? From what I have read they are slightly bigger than the non rechargeable ones and will not fit in certain surefire models but fit fine in other surefire models.
