FAQs about the VARTA Lithium Battery CR2/3AA

What is the main advantage of this lithium battery?

The crucial advantage is the extremely long service and storage life of up to 10 years, combined with a very wide operating temperature range. It supplies reliable energy for many years and is therefore ideal for maintenance-free devices in which the battery is permanently built in.

Is this battery rechargeable?

No. This is a lithium primary battery. It must never be attempted to recharge it under any circumstances. Charging attempts are extremely dangerous and can lead to fire or explosion.

How is this cell integrated into a device?

As an industrial raw cell, the CR2/3AA is usually assembled with attached solder pins or solder tabs to then be safely soldered onto a circuit board. It can also be used in special battery holders.

What does the size designation "2/3 AA" mean?

This means that the cell has the same diameter as a standard AA battery, but only about two thirds of its height. This compact form allows use in space-critical applications.

How should this battery be disposed of?

Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. As an industrial battery, it is subject to the provisions of the Battery Act. Please take the empty battery to the respective designated industrial or municipal collection points to ensure proper and environmentally friendly recycling.
