I don't know the country, but in the US, Home Depot and Lowes sell CR123A batteries. Lowes is less expensive than HD in my area. For Amazon/Walmart/Etc, just remember that they are the same as EBay. They actively recruit vendors to post their merchandise for sale with little care if the items are old, fake, whatever. If it is something I really need to work, I only buy if it is sold by and shipped by Amazon/Walmart.
