'''Recommended batteries:''' Many CPF members recommend AW cells (available through some online dealers and directly from AW via [http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/forumdisplay.php?f=13 CPF Marketplace/Dealers] under the latest AW's LiIon Batteries Sales Thread) which are of consistently higher quality and have better protection than cheaper cells, but are very expensive.

Some fake Trustfires have appeared on eBay, but DealExtreme has the real ones: [http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.26124~r.72863811 14500], [http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20392~r.72863811 18650].
