FAQs

Are these batteries rechargeable?

No, the Panasonic CR123A batteries are single-use and not designed to be recharged.

What devices can I use these batteries in?

These batteries are ideal for digital cameras, 35mm cameras, APS cameras, photo flashes, and other high-drain devices that require a 3V power source.

How long will the battery last?

Battery life depends on the device and usage. High-drain devices like flash units will consume power faster than devices in standby mode. Under normal use, you can expect a good service life.

What should I do with the used batteries?

Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations. Many areas have specific collection points for battery recycling.

Can I store these batteries for a long time?

Yes, store them in a cool, dry place. They have a long shelf life when stored correctly, but always check the expiration date before use.

What should I do if a battery leaks?

If a battery leaks, avoid contact with the leaked material. Clean the battery compartment with a cloth and dispose of the battery properly. If the leaked material contacts skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on.

Check battery orientation and ensure the battery is correctly inserted. If the device still doesn't power on, try a new battery.
