Be very careful with eBay. I actually recommend not shopping there, Amazon or any discount china sites as there are so many fakes and misrepresentations. Most just with overblown specs or are rewrapped used cells with a brand name wrapper but some are down right dangerous.
Welcome to LPF, Professor!
As mentioned above Illumination Supply is one of the best, also I use Mountain Electronics for some of my batteries, they also have a pretty good selection of chargers.
Like Illumination Supply, they are also based here in the U.S. (Utah), so shipping should be quick. I ordered (4)14500 batteries from Mountain on 7/17, and received them today, 7/21, not bad at all.
Edit: Here is a good comprehensive site for battery and charger information and comparisons!
Edit #2: This charger "Opus BT-C3100 V 2.1" is also a good choice IMO, it has been offered here in the past through a group buy; I have one and am satisfied with it. Many times you can find it on sale for less at Gearbest.
