Where should I buy a 72 count box of SF batteries?

[LumenKing1]

I want to pick up a 72 count brick of Surefire batteries. I only have two questions. Who has the freshest ones, and for a reasonable price? I like to keep primaries on hand in-case of power outages. I understand they last 10+ years before dropping 10%, but that's a lot of batteries for me.

Battery Junction has Surefire cells in varying quantities. They also carry most of the other good brands as well. Several offer boxes of 12, which with 6 boxes would give you your 72 cells. Just because I'm nosy, why that quantity?

I really have no reason, other than I just wanted extra primaries. I have two boxes of 12 that will be here in the next two days. I have four boxes already so I won't be buying the 72 pack anytime soon. I have been buying so many lights and batteries lately, I had to check all my orders to see what I had incoming.:shakehead I actually forgot I ordered two Olight 3600 mAh rechargeable batteries and an Olight S2 Baton light.
