Understanding CR123A Battery
Often recognized for its distinctive squat, cylindrical shape, the CR123A lithium battery is a highly popular 3-volt cell. Its widespread adoption stems from its exceptional energy density, reliable performance across a broad temperature range, and impressive shelf life, often exceeding a decade. The 123a battery is a go-to choice for applications requiring robust and consistent power. So CR123a 3v lithium battery commonly found in tactical flashlights, digital cameras demanding quick flash recycle times, wireless security sensors, and even some specialized medical devices.

Advantages of LiMnO2 (vs. LiSOCl2):
Disadvantages of LiMnO2 (vs. 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:
