Lithium CR123A battery Voltcraft VC-12714225 3V 1500 mAh

Voltcraft VC-12714225 is a CR123A lithium disposable battery with a nominal voltage of 3V and a capacity of 1500 mAh. Designed for devices that require a compact power source, this battery delivers a stable output and long shelf life suitable for both intermittent high-drain use and extended standby operation. The chemistry and construction provide reliable performance in cameras, flash units, security sensors and other portable electronics that accept CR123A cells.

Advantages

This lithium CR123A battery offers a stable 3V output and a relatively high 1500 mAh nominal capacity for its size, supporting sustained performance in devices with periodic bursts of current. Its long shelf life and low self-discharge rate help maintain readiness during storage, while the disposable design eliminates the need for recharging infrastructure. The cell is suitable for a wide temperature range and provides consistent voltage under moderate to high load conditions common in photographic and security equipment.

Suitable for

• Digital and film cameras
• Camera flash units and LED lighting
• Alarm systems and motion sensors
• Portable medical devices and measuring instruments
• Flashlights and tactical lights that accept CR123A cells

Key specifications

• Cell type: Lithium primary cell (CR123A form factor)
• Nominal voltage: 3 V
• Nominal capacity: 1500 mAh
• Typical use: intermittent high-drain pulses and long-term standby
• Storage characteristics: low self-discharge, long shelf life
• Operating temperature: suitable for a wide temperature range typical for lithium primary cells

How to use

Insert the battery into the device following the polarity markings (+ and −) indicated in the battery compartment. Use in devices that specify CR123A or equivalent lithium primary cells. Replace the battery when device performance indicates reduced power (e.g., dimming flash, weaker sensor response or reduced runtime). Dispose of the used battery according to local regulations for lithium primary cells; do not incinerate or attempt to recharge disposable lithium batteries.

Usage recommendations

Store unused batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve shelf life. For devices with long idle periods, remove the battery to prevent slow leakage or drain. When installing, avoid short-circuiting battery terminals and handle with dry hands. For critical applications such as security or medical devices, check battery condition periodically and replace proactively to ensure continuous operation.
