August 10, 20187 yr Looking for some CR123 batteries in particular. Have 6 Arlo cameras that take 4 each. My math says that is around 25 total batteries. They are expensive. I typically get Amazon basics for aa and aaa for my kids toys but never bought 123s. Anybody have some insight?
August 10, 20187 yr The Amazon batteries are shit. Trust me. I put those fuckers in my Alro and it was dead w/in a few months. I'm planning on buying the Streamlight from Home Depot as they're like 12 for $20 or something like that. You can find them on Amazon, but I'm thinking they're all (Energizer, Streamlight, etc) either used or fraudulent batteries.
August 10, 20187 yr Author The red streamlight batteries SUCK!! just ditched a whole set today, hence my post. 2 months. I thought the basestation was offline (lake property)Got a deal on Energizer 50 pack for $55 on Amazon but I am now looking for a better solution. I'm thinking 2 sets and change out when I go there, but still want something that will last.

I hate those batteries because they are so expensive, following to see if you find them at a decent price.
August 10, 20187 yr Having a camera with batteries to always change sounds like a pain, no power anywhere near where they are located? I like my nest cams

I like my nest cams No, I have 6 and in odd places. One I could hardwire though, but too difficult on the remainder ones. Dont want the wires hanging down. Typically they last 4-5 months, but the Surefire batteries I just bought lasted a whopping 6 weeks.
