The
CR123A batteries are commonly household single-use batteries commonly used in
torch flashlights, cameras, etc. The common configuration of the CR123A
batteries is 3 volts, 2 or 3 cells with lithium-based composition.
The battery
community of the world achieved a major milestone in 2019 when the Royal
Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded scientists John B. Goodenough, M. Stanley
Whittingham, and Akira Yoshino were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for
their contribution in developing the dewalt replacement batteries & Lithium-Ion batteries. The achievement was a major
event showcasing the importance batteries have in the day to day lives of each
and every human being in this world.
There is no
modern scientific invention that can showcase the significance and importance
of batteries with equal proportions in this modern digital and electronic
lifestyle.
In a lay
man’s terms, batteries are simply portable packs of power that are available in
various shapes, sizes, types, capacities, voltages, purposes in the consumer
market depending on the nature of the purpose of their application and
manufacture production. The modern digital world is dominated by electronic
devices which are immensely dependant on batteries.
Batteries in the modern world are often known by their
chemical compositions which commonly are Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMh), Lithium Polymer battery (LiPo), Lead Acid, and Lithium-Ion
battery (LiOn). The performance of the RCR123a rechargeable batteries depends on various factors which further vary on the various
manufacturers.
The elements
such capacity, voltage, number of cells, discharge rating or C-Rating,
anti-leak technology, resistance to pressure, temperature, climatic
fluctuations, among others affect the lifespan, efficiency, and performance of
batteries including the CR123A battery.
The
composition of the CR123A battery consists of 3 volts, various capacities
measured in mAh varying number of cells, compact, lightweight, etc. They are
regularly high capacity lithium manganese-based batteries with dimensions of 17
mm by 33.5 mm. The CR123a batteries are commonly used in cameras, flashlights,
security alarm systems among others.
There are
several other similar factors that also impact directly or indirectly on the
lifespan of the CR123A lithium batteries such as manufacturing brand,
self-discharge rate, storage, P-T-C protection, among other factors.
What are
the various applications of CR123a batteries?
The CR123a
batteries are commonly used for application in flashlights, digital cameras,
electronic toys, computer mouse, radios and security alarm systems since they
are often high capacity & high performing batteries. In recent times, CR123a rechargeable batteries versions are also available in
the consumer market.
What is
the shelf life of CR123A batteries?
The shelf
life of any battery simply means the complete life expectancy of the battery.
The shelf life of CR123A batteries is around ten years which is common amongst
all brands manufacturing the batteries.
