Which you'd recommend? I seriously have no idea which are best and a lot of them start at price ranging from $250+ I am looking for one that is also light and wont add too much weight to myself (and utility belt).

Energizer Ultimate Lithiums weight 1/3 less than any other battery. They are powerful, but they ae not rechargable and they are expensive.
