FAQs about the Varta Lithium 2CR5 battery

Is the 2CR5 battery rechargeable?

No, the Varta 2CR5 is a lithium primary battery that is not rechargeable. Attempts to recharge the battery are dangerous and can lead to destruction, leakage or explosion of the cell.

What is the advantage over alkaline batteries?

Lithium batteries such as the 2CR5 offer a higher voltage, a significantly higher capacity and more stable performance in cold conditions. They are lighter and have a much longer shelf life of up to 10 years. They are therefore the superior choice for demanding applications such as photography.

What do the designations EL2CR5 or DL2CR5 stand for?

These are alternative designations for the same battery type from other leading manufacturers such as Energizer (EL2CR5) or Duracell (DL2CR5). The Varta 2CR5 is fully compatible and interchangeable with these types.

How should this battery be disposed of?

Lithium batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. Please take the empty battery to the designated collection points in retail stores or municipal recycling centres to ensure environmentally responsible recycling.

AGM technology ensures efficient gas recombination, making the battery virtually maintenance-free. With a maximum discharge current capacity of 105 A (5 seconds), it is also suitable for applications with short-term peak loads.Efficiency meets durabilityIn standby mode, the battery should be charged to a voltage of 2.25–2.30 V/cell. For cyclic operation, a charging voltage of 2.45–2.50 V/cell is recommended. The temperature compensation is –3 mV/cell/°C in standby mode and –4 mV/cell/°C in cyclic operation. The recommended maximum current is 0.3C (approx. 2.1 A). In cyclic use, the battery achieves several hundred charge and discharge cycles, depending on the depth of discharge.Technology for flexible applicationsThe operating temperature range of the cells is between –15 °C and +50 °C during charging. During discharge, it is –20 °C to +60 °C, and during storage –20 °C to +50 °C. T1 or T2 plug-in connectors are available for the electrical connection. The recommended tightening torque for this is between 2 and 3 Newton metres.
