@#:Ultralast UL-123/2 3V CR123 Photo Lithium Battery Retail Pack

I have found that with Alkaline batteries and Lithium Ion much like Consumers Reports
findings that off brands of similar technology batteries work just as well and as long.
I have been using Duracell CR123's in my remote weather station receivers and they last
about a year. I have purchased the Ultralast on two occasions because sometimes you
can obtain some old stock. This last time the expiration was in 2012, and I didn't get
6 months out of them again. So I suppose the Consumers Reports may be valid for AA,
AAA's, but this is not my finding for these special CR123's. So I am disappointed

The biggest bummer is that often these are not prime eligible because they are
fulfilled by marketplace sellers, so I often have to pay shipping that is as much
as the batteries themselves. If they last the proper time, there is no sense
in buying in quantity as they will just sit there losing power over time.
So I need to buy fresh each time. This effectively doubles the cost of the
batteries. So I expect to get a year out of the Ultralast if I always get
a year out of the Duracell. Not the case... twice..
