FAQs
What is the difference between CR123A and other battery sizes?
The CR123A is a specific size and chemistry (Lithium) with a standard 3V voltage, designed for high-drain electronics like cameras and flashlights. Other sizes, like AA or AAA, have different dimensions and often use alkaline or rechargeable chemistries with lower voltage and capacity.
Can I recharge Varta CR123A batteries?
No, these Varta CR123A batteries are single-use (primary) batteries and are not designed to be recharged. Attempting to recharge them can be dangerous and may lead to damage or explosion.
How long can I store these batteries?
Varta Lithium batteries, including the CR123A, offer an impressive storage life of up to 10 years, ensuring they remain potent and ready for use when needed.
Are these batteries safe for all electronic devices?
These batteries are safe for devices specifically designed to use the CR123A (or equivalent) 3V lithium battery. Always check your device's manual for compatibility before insertion.
What does '1600 mAh' mean?
mAh stands for milliampere-hour, which is a measure of electric charge. A higher mAh rating generally indicates a longer battery life or the ability to supply power for a longer duration under a given load.
How should I dispose of used CR123A batteries?
It is recommended to dispose of used batteries responsibly. Check with your local waste management authorities or recycling centers for specific guidelines on battery disposal in your area. Avoid discarding them in regular household trash.
What are the benefits of lithium technology over alkaline for cameras?
Lithium technology provides higher energy density, resulting in longer runtimes and better performance in extreme temperatures. They also offer a more stable voltage output, which is crucial for the sensitive electronics in modern digital cameras.
Troubleshooting
Device does not power on
Ensure batteries are inserted correctly with correct polarity (+/-). Check if the batteries are depleted and replace if necessary. Verify device compatibility with CR123A batteries.
Intermittent power or device malfunction
Check battery contacts for dirt or corrosion; clean gently with a pencil eraser or a dry cloth. Ensure batteries are firmly seated in the compartment. Replace with new batteries.
Device performance is lower than expected
Confirm that the device is not intended for higher capacity batteries if available. For cameras, ensure the flash is fully charged between shots. Replace batteries if they are old or have been stored for many years.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Varta CR123A 2 batteries are designed for immediate use. Simply remove them from the blister packaging and insert them into your device according to the polarity markings (+/-) indicated on both the battery and the device. Ensure the device is turned off before inserting or removing batteries.
Compatibility: These batteries are specifically designed for devices requiring the CR123A (also known as CR17345, DL123A, EL123A) form factor and 3V lithium chemistry. Always consult your device's manual to confirm compatibility before use. They are ideal for most modern digital cameras, high-performance flashlights, and certain electronic security systems.
Care: Store unused batteries in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Never attempt to recharge these single-use batteries, as this can be dangerous and may cause leakage or explosion. Keep batteries away from children and pets. In case of battery leakage, avoid contact with skin and eyes; rinse affected areas with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists. Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
