Advantages of LiMnO2 (vs. LiSOCl2):
- Generally safer with better thermal stability.
- Lower cost.
- Less noticeable voltage delay/passivation effect.
- Often, better pulse discharge capability (depending on construction).
-
Disadvantages of LiMnO2 (vs. LiSOCl2):
- Lower energy density (less capacity for the size/weight).
- Lower nominal voltage (3.0V vs. 3.6V).
- Less stable/flat discharge voltage curve.
- Reduced performance at extremely low temperatures compared to LiSOCl2.
This is a critical distinction for user safety. A standard CR123A is a primary, non-rechargeable battery. In contrast, an RCR123A (also known as a 16340) is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. They have a similar size, but a rechargeable RCR123A typically has a higher nominal voltage (3.6V-3.7V vs 3V) and a lower capacity. You must never attempt to charge a non-rechargeable CR123A, as this is extremely dangerous and can cause the battery to rupture or explode. Always confirm the battery type and charger compatibility for your device.
No, you cannot. This is a common point of confusion due to their similar names, but a CR123A and a CR2 battery are not interchangeable. While both are 3V lithium primary batteries, the CR123A is slightly longer and wider. It will not fit in a device designed to use a smaller CR2 battery. Always use the exact battery type specified by your device manufacturer.
While generally safe when used correctly, proper handling is crucial. To ensure safety, you should:
- Never try to recharge a non-rechargeable CR123A.
- Do not short-circuit the terminals.
- Avoid puncturing, crushing, or disassembling the cell.
- Do not expose it to open flames or extreme heat beyond its specified operating temperature.
- Dispose of used or damaged batteries properly according to local regulations for lithium batteries.
