Where can I get a charger and rechargeable batteries for it. They are CR123A Lithum 3V 1500 mAh.

These chargers have been out of stock on 4sevens site for some time, which is a bit of a problem for Maelstom S12 owners, and it appears 4sevens is planning a recall of the chargers they sold:

The new chargers they were planning on getting, apparently, never arrived. I read on CPF that David went to China to find out what was going on. Goinggear still has them in stock, if you want to take a chance. I'm not sure what the issue is -- people have been using them, and I haven't heard of anything awful happening -- but I'd wait until David sorts this out.

It appears it isn't. Here's a fairly detailed look into the issue (complete with graphs):

And here's the gist of it:

Quote

This charger follows a CC/CV charging profile and also supports long 18650 cells and a lot of other cell types. This ought to make this charger a very good charger, with only a few small detail, that could have been better.
But that does not include the first series (i.e. all shipped before 2 Marts 2011) of the chargers, they has a problem that can lead to over current. 4Sevens is aware of the problem and will replace them.
