Reliable Energy for Precision Applications

The VARTA CR1/3N is the preferred energy source for a wide range of devices where performance and miniaturisation are crucial. Its main area of use is in analogue and digital photography to power cameras and exposure meters. It is also ideal for use in security sensors, electronic dog collars, sight systems, medical devices (e.g. blood glucose meters) and as a backup battery in professional electronics.

Superior Lithium Manganese Dioxide Technology

Lithium manganese dioxide technology (Li-MnO2) enables the high nominal voltage of 3 volts, which often replaces the use of two 1.5-volt silver oxide cells and thus reduces space and complexity in device design. The technology guarantees stable voltage over most of its life, extremely low self-discharge of less than 1% per year at room temperature, and excellent performance even at low temperatures.

Developed for Maximum Reliability

As a highly specialised cell, the CR1/3N is designed for maximum reliability and safety. Its robust construction and high VARTA quality ensure a reliable integration into end devices and protect them from damage caused by leakage. With this cell, VARTA offers developers and manufacturers a reliable and powerful platform for the development of long-lasting and compact products.
 

Characteristics

FAQs about the VARTA Lithium Battery CR1/3N

What is the main advantage of this lithium battery?

The decisive advantage is the high voltage of 3 volts in a single, very compact cell. It can replace two stacked 1.5-volt silver oxide batteries (such as SR44) in many devices, resulting in more reliable power supply and simpler battery replacement.

Is this battery rechargeable?

No. This is a lithium primary battery. It must never be attempted to recharge it under any circumstances. Attempting to charge is extremely dangerous and can cause fire or explosion.

What is a 3-volt button cell of this size needed for?

It is needed for compact devices with a relatively high energy requirement. Examples include lighting in camera viewfinders, active electronics in exposure meters, transmitter modules in dog collars or the power supply for laser sights.

Is this battery compatible with 2L76 or DL1/3N?

Yes, the designations CR1/3N, 2L76 and DL1/3N are used by different manufacturers for the same battery type and are interchangeable.

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 regulations of the Battery Act. Please take the empty battery to the designated industrial or municipal collection points to ensure proper and environmentally-friendly recycling.
