VARTA lithium photobattery CR123A 3V (single blister)
Description
Product information
The VARTA CR123A is a high-performance 3-volt lithium primary battery developed for professional and demanding applications with very high energy requirements. Based on lithium manganese dioxide technology (Li-MnO2), it offers exceptionally high performance, extremely low self-discharge and a very wide operating temperature range. Supplied in a protective individual blister, it is the ideal power source for digital cameras, smart home devices and LED torches.
Highlights at a glance
- Maximum performance: Developed for high-tech devices with high and fast energy needs (high drain).
- Extreme longevity: Up to 10 years storage life thanks to extremely low self-discharge.
- Wide temperature range: Reliable performance under extreme conditions from -20 °C to +70 °C.
- Versatile application: Ideal for photography, smart home, security technology and outdoor activities.
- Safe packaging: The protective blister ensures freshness and performance until use.
Reliable energy for high-tech applications
The VARTA CR123A is the preferred power source for a wide range of devices in which high output and absolute reliability are crucial. Its main field of application is in security technology (motion detectors, alarm systems), in smart home devices, in professional photography (flash units, cameras) and in high-intensity LED torches. Its ability to deliver high currents very quickly guarantees the flawless functioning of all demanding devices.
Superior lithium manganese dioxide technology
Lithium manganese dioxide technology (Li-MnO2) is the key to this cell’s exceptional performance. It enables a high nominal voltage of 3 volts and is able to supply high currents very quickly, which is essential for devices such as photo flashes. The extremely low self-discharge of less than 1% per year at room temperature guarantees maximum readiness even after many years of storage in “fit and forget” applications such as sensors.
Developed for maximum reliability
The CR123A is made to the highest quality standards to ensure maximum reliability and leak resistance. This protects your valuable electronic devices from damage. The protective individual blister ensures that the battery retains its full performance until it is used and can be stored safely protected from short circuits and external influences.

FAQs about the VARTA Lithium Battery CR123A
What is the main advantage of this lithium battery?
The decisive advantage is its ability to deliver very high currents quickly (high drain), combined with extremely long storage capabilities and a wide temperature range. It is the perfect choice for energy-intensive devices that must work for long periods without maintenance.
Is this battery rechargeable?
No. This is a lithium primary battery. It must not be recharged under any circumstances. Confusion with similarly looking rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (e.g. RCR123A) is dangerous and may result in fire or explosion.
Why is it called a "photo battery"?
Historically, one of the first main applications for this type of battery was to power analogue and early digital cameras as well as their flash units. Owing to its high output, it is still widely used today in professional photography and for high-performance LED torches.
Can I use this instead of two AA batteries?
No, the CR123A has a voltage of 3 volts, while two AA batteries in series also deliver 3 volts. However, the form factor is completely different. It is not intended as a direct replacement for AA batteries and only fits devices specifically designed for the CR123A type.
How should this battery be disposed of?
Batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. Please take the empty battery to the designated collection points in stores or to municipal recycling centres to ensure environmentally sound recycling.
