Overview

The BAT-3V0-CR123A is a CR123/CR123A primary lithium cell with a nominal voltage of 3.0V. Designed for applications that require a reliable, long-life power source, these cells retain capacity over long storage periods—manufacturers commonly specify up to 10 years shelf life.

Performance in temperature extremes

CR123 lithium cells are specified to operate roughly between -40° and +60°C (-40° to 140°F). While efficiency can be reduced near the lowest extreme (around -40°C), they remain significantly more effective than typical alkaline cells down to about -20°C (-4°F), which makes them well suited for outdoor detectors and cold environments.

Comparison with alkaline batteries

In many practical uses, lithium CR123 cells provide substantially longer service life than alkaline equivalents—commonly quoted as 6–8× longer under similar loads. Although the upfront cost is higher (often 2–4×), lithium cells frequently deliver better value where long life and low-temperature performance are required.

Applications and recommendations

  • Cameras and flash units
  • Security detectors (motion, door/window) and outdoor sensors
  • Wireless remotes and coded/digital keys
  • Low-drain electronics that require long maintenance intervals

For indoor, warm, dry locations standard alkaline cells are often adequate. For outdoor devices, installations exposed to low temperatures (garages, sheds, containers) or safety-critical systems, choose lithium CR123 cells. Do not substitute rechargeable cells unless the device explicitly supports them.

Storage and handling

Store batteries in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Follow local regulations for disposal and recycling of spent cells.
