Energizer Lithium 123 batteries are lithium/manganese dioxide (Li/MnO2) batteries primarily used in high-drain devices such as cameras, security systems, and flashlights. They are also known by alternative names such as CR123A in IEC standards and 123A in ANSI/NEDA standards.
These batteries are unique in size and voltage and do not have a direct alkaline equivalent. The 123 Lithium batteries are designed for specific electronics, offering a significantly longer charge capacity and better performance in extreme temperatures, though they are more expensive than other types.
Energizer Lithium 123 batteries operate with a standard voltage of 3 volts and have a termination voltage of around 2.0 volts. Their capacity is approximately 1500mAh, and they measure 34.5 mm in height and 17 mm in diameter.
These batteries function effectively in a temperature range of -40°C to +60°C, though they should be stored at temperatures below 25°C. The chemical composition of Energizer Lithium 123 is Lithium (Li) and Manganese Dioxide (MnO2). In the industry, these batteries may also be referred to as lithium photo batteries or lithium security batteries.
