In our labs and testing equipment we have run everything from the SF/Pan, Stream, Dura, Eng, Sony, and a bunch of cheaper offshore variants, there is little to no difference in quality. There may be slight differences but will be insignificant. Panasonic Cylindrical Lithium CR123 batteries have low internal resistance to provide rapid flash recovery time and quick shooting. They will have the same or similar chemical makeup, they will have robust containers, they should not leak and the same voltage. Means just about all CR123 batteries will perform the same. Lithium Batteries due to their nasty ass chemical makeup, ALL have much more robust construction making battery leakage and therefore electronic destruction very very unlikely. Since almost all CR123 are Lithium, and the number #1 battery failure by FAR is leakage/corrosion/explosions. Furthermore, CR123A batteries are considered by many to be a 'survivor's ultimate tool' due to their lengthy shelf life. We are talking about CR123, not AA or AAA.Ĭomparing AA or AAA Lithium to cheap NICAD or Alkaline is not the argument. CR123A batteries can be useful because they have an incredibly wide operating temperature range - meaning they can be used in extremely cold or extremely hot environments with less issues.
However, they have a higher nominal voltage capacity that ranges between 3.6-3.7 volts. I like a thread with an abundance of anecdotes it ain't data, but it is useful nonetheless - assuming a certain level of intelligence and integrity.Ĭlick to expand.Here is where you fail: Like their CR123A counterparts, the rechargeable CR123A or RCR123A batteries are also mostly cylindrical lithium-based battery chemistries usually lithium-ion used in several applications. These are non-rechargeable batteries but are easily available at any store in your town.
They are also commonly known as 123 cells, CR123 batteries, or even EL123, SF123, and DL123. They usually have a nominal voltage of 3V, a height, and diameter that should be in the range of 34mmx17mm, and a nominal capacity that can reach 1500mAh and more. Charge 1 or 2 of these batteries using the Watson CR123A. CR123A is a popular lithium battery used in various high-power electronic devices, including flashlights, cameras, etc. CR123A batteries are high-power cylindrical primary batteries with lithium-based chemistry usually lithium manganese oxide: LiMnO2.
Cr123a battery used for portable#
People often consult price when buying wine, and it doesn't always work well the same is true of batteries. The battery can be used to power digital cameras, toys, games, flashlights and portable devices. They are exceptionally tolerant of negative temperatures. I put everything on a tester before it goes in a device.įor those that recall the Kestrel issue many years ago with Duracell batteries, we tend to lean sorta "battery-snob"-ish, I guess you could say. Large temperature range for use The lithium battery can be used at temperatures of -20C to +60C. I've had a few energizers (on the higher end of the $ scale) be off right out of the packaging. I am not trying to start a shitstorm, quite the contrary Surefires have been great for me and they tend to be on the lower end of the bulk $ scale. This applies to rechargeable too - maybe more so. If it is a $20 flashlight you got on Amazon, rock on if it is a $10,000 thermal, no chance in hell I am putting a no-name battery in mine. No advanced knowledge of battery design or materials, just a general experiential knowledge that all batteries in general - and CR123s in particular - have not functioned equally for me.
