EBL 1600mAh CR123A 3V Lithium Batteries
Practical batteries for home, basic, and travel use. Ultra suitable for a variety of devices including flashlights, digital cameras, light meters, and lots of other popular photo equipment.
Life Span Up to 10 Years
Low self-discharge makes it still maintain 75% of capacity after years of non-use.
Good Performance
Lithium cells support high energy density and last 3–5 times longer than ordinary alkaline batteries in high-drain devices like digital cameras.
Explosion Proof Design
The special seal cover, heat dissipation hole, and PTC Current Discharge Protection help prevent explosions caused by high temperatures.
Notice:
Not recommended for use in Arlo Cameras. Most Arlo cameras require 3.7V operating voltage. EBL CR123A batteries provide 3V output, so Arlo cameras may report low power even when the batteries are fresh.

Frequently asked questions
Are these EBL CR123 and CR2 batteries rechargeable?
No. These are non-rechargeable lithium primary cells. Never put them in a battery charger. Attempting to recharge a primary lithium cell can cause it to vent, leak or rupture, which is why the distinction matters more here than with other battery types.
How long do they last in storage?
Up to 10 years, retaining around 75 percent of capacity after years of non-use thanks to low self-discharge. That makes them suitable for equipment kept ready rather than used daily, such as an emergency torch or a camera in a drawer.
How do they compare to alkaline batteries?
They last 3 to 5 times longer in high-drain devices such as digital cameras and flashlights. Lithium chemistry holds voltage under heavy load where alkaline sags, which is why camera flashes and torches empty alkalines so quickly.
What devices use CR123 and CR2?
Flashlights, digital cameras, light meters and other photo equipment, plus some security devices and medical instruments. Check which of the two sizes your device takes, as they are not interchangeable.
What is the difference between CR123 at 1600mAh and CR2 at 800mAh?
Size and capacity. CR123A is the larger cell at 1600mAh; CR2 is shorter at 800mAh. Both are 3V. Your device determines which fits, so check the existing battery or the manual rather than choosing on capacity.
Can I use these instead of rechargeables?
For equipment used occasionally, yes, and the long shelf life is an advantage. For anything used regularly, rechargeables work out far cheaper over time. These suit standby and emergency use rather than daily drain.
