No drawbacks! It is all good! Or should I say great!

My rechargeable batteries even came with a car charger. No need to ever be without a truly portable curing light!

I checked Radio Shack & Walmart for batteries: The CR123 Universal / Ultralast 3V/1300mPh Lithium is about 15.99 for a pack of 2 at RS or $5.96 at WM. Is this the correct btry for the new light? I plan to order one today based on the feed back some of you are giving this. I couldnt find a Btry listed as 18650. The others were under camaras or photo flashers. There was a list of about 7 brands ranging from $6 - $24 per Btry. Does anyone know yet how many average breaks can be repaired before the Btry needs replacing or recharging in some cases?

You want to make sure the battery is rechargeable, those should have a R in front of the CR. They need to be Lithium-Ion

I purchased (6) batteries (rechargeable) with a house charger and car charger from Amazon for $24.99 with free delivery.

First day out with my new curing light. Love that thing!!!
I did 8 repairs today in cold and cloudy weather and cured each one with the new light. I kept the light on them for about 3 or 4 mins. and they were good to go!
Thanks Delta!!

Thanks 14K . I talked to Bruce on Thursday. He advised to google the battery type and a list of places will come up to purchase The RCR123.
