AW R123 Rechargeable 3.7V Lithium Battery (750 mAH)
Everyone who is serious about batteries and flashlights will tell you that AW batteries are the premier lithium ion (also known as li-ion) rechargeable batteries available for use in flashlights. AW brand batteries are the only batteries specifically designed to get the best performance out of high-end flashlights.
Lithium-ion Batteries (Li-ion Batteries) are batteries with one of the best energy-to-weight ratios. They do not have any memory effect and have a slow loss of charge when not in use. Li-ion batteries are much lighter than other equivalent secondary batteries. Care should be taken while handling these batteries. Unless care is taken their life span may be reduced. The AW Batteries shown here have built in Protection PCB that prevents Over Discharge, Over Charging and also offer Short Circuit protection. These batteries have a life cycle of more than 500 charge-discharge cycles.
AW Batteries also feature New Anti-Explosion Vent/PTC Module. The new module provides an added layer of protection against gas built-up in addition to the PTC thermal protection. Unlike regular vents used by most Li-Ion cells, these new modules will actually stop the action by separating the electrodes inside the battery when the pressure reaches a preset threshold. The vent disc will open and release the gas plus stopping the cell from further chemical reaction. Combined with the PCB electronic protection and two layers of mechanical ( thermal and pressure ) protection, these new protected cells are one of the first with added safety features in place.
***DO NOT USE Li-Ion batteries if you don't know the dangers about them and how to handle them. Never leave charging batteries unattended. Do not charge more than 3 hours. Use at your own risk. Feel free to call us if you have ANY questions about the use of LI-Ion Batteries in your light.***
Please NOTE these are 3.7V RCR123 Batteries. Most CR123A batteries are 3.0V. The device you use these in, MUST be capable of handling greater than 3.0V batteries or you can damage the electronics in the device. Please contact us if you have any questions. We are NOT able to offer information regarding voltages and capabilities of items we do not sell.
