Pros: Well I needed 123a batteries and these work. I bought 4 and all 4 work and tested at 3.75~3.76 for all of them before charging. Buy this, it save so much money for high drain flashlights!
Cons: The better of the 3.7 charges sku#01251 needs a spacer to fit, not really a con just an FYI.
Other Thoughts: mah tested at 780 for me!
Buy this, it save so much money for high drain flashlights!
Bottomline: If you want a 3.7 123a buy this. Buy this, it save so much money for high drain flashlights!

Pros: Good build quality, easy to use. Works excellent with the Ultrafire WF-138 (SKU 1236).
Bought these for my "old fashion" LED flashlight. Works perfect, full light as long as possible and then a sudden drop: empty.
Just what they supposed to do.
Cons: The strange thing is, that in the specifications is mentioned that these batteries are 1000 mAh but I got 880 mAh. Not a big deal but change the header.
Other Thoughts: These are protected for overcharging, when you use the Ultrafire WF-138 charger it's a bit overdone. This charger has a auto power off when the batteries are fully charged. So if you thing these are too expensive you also can get the 4-pack SKU 2086 for 6.59 USD.
Bottomline: Good, strong batteries. Bit expensive but do the job.
needs updating and revising

Pros: same height as the 2-pack trustfire ones(1mm higher than standard CR123A), i don't have a ultrafire in silver shrink to compare heights.
Cons: "higher capacity" is questionable, considering i received one with 880mah on the shrink. it is unknown why the price is quite different. i have logged it as a fault and am unsure on how they would resolve this problem.
Other Thoughts: i purchased one for the different colour shrink to make it my "primary backup" cell.
Bottomline: not really worth the amount paid for a "low quality" cell.
Received wrong battery?

Pros: Protection circuit
Cons: Received 880mah cell in blue shrink
Only has about 550mah capacity
Other Thoughts: Protection circuit stops charging at 4.2V and cuts off power at 2.75V. Once the low voltage cutoff is reached, the battery reads 0V until it is placed in the charger. In flashlight use, that means that the light will suddenly go out during use.
Bottomline: Due to the way that the protection circuit works, you should carry a spare. This makes the 2-pack (sku 3273) a better deal if the 1000mah cells are no longer available.
