    Lots of shops sell them, including supermarkets, home electrics, camera shops and even local stores.

    Depending on how often or how you use them, it may be worth doing an internet search, to decide which brand to go for (not all batteries are the same). If you go to the Fenix Torch website, you will also have an option to buy rechargeable ones too.

    There are many independent battery retailers, or you could even just go direct to 'energiser' (what used to be ever-ready). I use this site for my orders of AAA batteries, as it is just as cheap as going to the supermarket, and saves me the hassle of going into one lol!

    I'll be watching this with interest. I'd like a cheap supply of these too.

    What a coincidence, my daughter needed some for her alarm, I ordered a couple from Amazon yesterday, they arrived today at 1:95p each, no P+P and Panasonic...laughin'.

    I also bought the last one in Taskers of Liverpool yesterday for 2:99p.

    Must say, ours are CR123A.

    If you use Ebid, (not bay ) you can get them from this guy http://uk.ebid.net/perl/main.cgi?mo=...le=th-tactical He's based in italy, I've bought various Slikclips before and delivery is pretty quick and postage not too bad. Just remember to ask for an invoice for P+P for multiple items.

    just been told to wait 7-10 weeks for delivery of possible missing items :@ (apparently HK post are keeping items for 28 days before sending them onto their relevant countries :S...)

    so will steer well clear of dx until after Christmas

    eBay is a good starting point and for rechargable standard AAA, AA, C and D batteries look in your local Lidl, fantastic value for good quality batteries.
