Lithium Photo Battery GP CR2 3V, model 070CR2EC1

GP Lithium Photo Battery CR2 3V (model 070CR2EC1) is a single-use lithium cell in the CR2 form factor designed to deliver a stable 3V output for cameras, flash units and other compact imaging devices. The battery is intended for applications that require a compact power source with consistent voltage to ensure reliable performance in photography and portable electronics. It is compatible with devices that specify CR2 lithium batteries and is provided by GP, a manufacturer of primary lithium cells.

Advantages

The GP CR2 3V lithium battery offers long shelf life and stable voltage under typical discharge conditions for photographic equipment. Its compact cylindrical design fits standard CR2 battery compartments and maintains consistent power output for devices that depend on steady voltage. As a primary lithium cell, it provides higher energy density compared with many alkaline alternatives, making it suitable for intermittent high-drain pulses such as camera flashes.

Suitable for

• Compact digital cameras and rangefinder cameras that require CR2 cells
• Camera flash units and external flash triggers
• Laser pointers, some compact measurement tools and small optical instruments
• Portable electronics and accessories specifying CR2 3V lithium batteries

Key specifications

• Nominal voltage: 3 V
• Chemistry: lithium (primary, non-rechargeable)
• Form factor: CR2 cylindrical cell
• Typical use: single-use for imaging devices and compact electronics
• Storage: low self-discharge for extended shelf life

How to use

Insert the GP CR2 3V battery following the device manufacturer’s polarity markings, ensuring the positive and negative terminals align with the battery compartment indicators. Use only one battery type at a time in devices that require a single CR2 cell; do not mix different chemistries or new and used batteries in the same device. After installation, verify device operation and remove the battery if the device will not be used for an extended period to avoid leakage-related damage. Dispose of the used battery according to local regulations for primary lithium cells.

Usage recommendations

Store unused GP CR2 3V batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and metal objects that could short the terminals. Do not recharge, puncture, or expose the cell to fire. Follow device manufacturer guidelines for recommended battery types and replacement intervals to maintain optimal performance.
