Description
The RCR123 A (16340) 3.6V 700mAh Rechargeable Battery (Dark Blue) – With PCB provides rechargeable power for compatible electronic equipment designed to operate with a protected RCR123A lithium-ion battery. Featuring lithium-ion (Li-ion), secondary, rechargeable chemistry, this battery delivers a nominal voltage of 3.6 volts and a capacity of 700 mAh (0.7 Ah). Its compact RCR123A / 16340 cylindrical format and dark blue exterior wrapper make it suitable for compatible LED flashlights, portable lighting equipment, electronic instruments, specialized photographic accessories, and other electronic devices specifically designed for rechargeable 3.6V lithium-ion cells. The integrated protection circuit board (PCB) provides an additional layer of electrical protection during normal operation.
Designed in the RCR123A / 16340 rechargeable battery format, this dark blue lithium-ion cell has standard 16340 dimensions of 34.0 × 16.0 mm (1.34 × 0.63 in), length × diameter (16340 size; PCB-protected cells can be slightly longer). Its integrated PCB protection circuitry is designed to help protect against overcharging, excessive discharge, overcurrent, and short-circuit conditions within the limits of the protection circuit. The battery is rechargeable using a compatible lithium-ion charger designed for this type of cell. Because protection circuitry can increase the overall battery length compared with an unprotected RCR123A or standard primary CR123A battery, confirm the available battery compartment clearance and terminal configuration before installation.
The RCR123 A (16340) 3.6V 700mAh Rechargeable Battery (Dark Blue) – With PCB is intended for equipment specifically approved for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.6V. Although it has a similar cylindrical format to a standard CR123A primary lithium battery, it is not automatically interchangeable with a non-rechargeable 3.0V CR123A because of differences in operating voltage, fully charged voltage, chemistry, and charging requirements. Standard rechargeable lithium-ion cells in this voltage class reach 4.2V when fully charged, and equipment must be designed to tolerate the applicable voltage range. Always verify the equipment manufacturer's specified battery chemistry, nominal voltage, maximum operating voltage, terminal configuration, physical dimensions, discharge requirements, and approved replacement specifications before installation. Each purchase includes one RCR123 A (16340) 3.6V 700mAh Rechargeable Battery (Dark Blue) – With PCB.
