Description

The CR2 Panasonic Photo Lithium 3 Volt Camera Battery is a high-performance primary lithium battery designed to provide reliable power for compatible photographic equipment, digital cameras, film cameras, and specialized electronic devices requiring a CR2 lithium battery. Manufactured by Panasonic, this battery features lithium manganese dioxide (Li-MnO2) chemistry, a nominal voltage of 3.0 volts, and a rated capacity of 850mAh (0.85Ah). Its lithium chemistry provides dependable power delivery for equipment requiring a compact, high-energy primary battery, making it suitable for compatible photographic applications and other electronic equipment designed for CR2 batteries.

Designed in the compact CR2 cylindrical battery format, this Panasonic Photo Lithium battery measures 27.0mm (1.06 inches) in length and 15.6mm (0.61 inches) in diameter. It features a button-top terminal configuration, with a raised positive terminal and a flat negative terminal, for compatible battery compartments. Panasonic's lithium manganese dioxide technology provides excellent high-drain performance, stable power delivery, and reliable operation in demanding applications. Its compact construction makes it suitable for compatible cameras, photographic accessories, portable lighting equipment, security devices, and specialized electronic instruments. The battery offers a shelf life of 10 years under appropriate storage conditions and is designed for single-use operation without charging or maintenance.

The Panasonic CR2 Photo Lithium battery is intended for equipment specifically designed to operate with primary 3V CR2 lithium batteries. Its compact cylindrical format and standard CR2 dimensions allow it to replace compatible primary CR2 batteries with matching electrical and physical specifications. However, it must not be confused with rechargeable RCR2 lithium-ion batteries, which may have higher operating voltages and different charging requirements. This Panasonic CR2 battery is non-rechargeable and must never be placed in a battery charger. Always confirm the equipment manufacturer's battery size, chemistry, voltage, and terminal requirements before installation. Each purchase includes one Panasonic CR2 Photo Lithium 3 Volt Camera Battery.
