Ok, I did not shop prices. I did a quick check on Amazon and their $13.47 each is outrageous. I see the same battery, same brand elsewhere for $8.49, but obviously you have done better shopping.at $20 a four pack I don't think it's too expensive.
Ok, that should work well. Except I have never had strobe batteries fail before the camera batteries ran out, even changing camera batteries between dives but leaving the strobe batteries alone. The 700 mAh batteries that Sealife uses in cameras just don't hold up, while 4 x 2000+ mAh batteries in strobes just keep working. So I think you spent twice as much as I did for batteries that will do the same job the same way, but there may be other advantages.The 3.7V is only indicating max discharge voltage at a given rate, will hold an even 1.5 or whatever the flash require constantly, V on demand if you want...
Don't get them wet, especially with salt water. I carry a couple of AA batteries in a plastic case in my cargo pocket in case my everyday Canon runs out of juice, and leaving them in thru a washing machine cycle finished them off.
