Where to find Trustfire battery locally

[badal121]

I want to know if 14500 trustfire battery (AA Sized) is available locally somewhere. Or any good vendor online ?
Dealextreme takes almost a month to deliver so any other suggestions?.

well, are u in the us? if you are then there are some supply stores in the US, like battery junction http://www.batteryjunction.com/licyba181417.html
they have slightly higher prices than dx, but they ship faster. most ppl, even US ppl, go with dx.

Oh i forgot to mention, Yes i am in USA.
I will check that out thanks for the link.
But is there any local shop around here that will sell these batteries? Will hobby shops have them?

Over at Candle Power Forums, the overwhelming consensus is that the Lithium Ion rechargable cells made by AW are the highest quality in terms of performance and reliability, as well as cycle count. Naturally they're also quite expensive. AW makes cells in most all common sizes (including 14500), and they are sold in the US directly from AW via CPF, or from http://www.lighthound.com/.

I personally have ordered batteries from lighthound.com twice now, and their service and speed is excellent. They have free USPS priority mail shipping for orders over $75, and since I live in Texas where they are located I get the order the next day. I highly recommend them!
