16340 / CR123 Batteries

Reliable Power for High‑Performance Devices

The 16340 (CR123A) and ICR123A battery formats have been trusted for years in high‑drain devices — long before lithium‑ion technology became mainstream. While the naming can be confusing, it’s important to note the voltage difference: traditional CR123A batteries are 3.0V, whereas Li‑Ion 16340 cells are typically 3.6V (the type we supply). Always check your device requirements before use.

Compact, Lightweight and Powerful

Commonly used in LED torches, digital cameras, GPS units, and other specialised electronics, 16340 and ICR123A lithium‑ion batteries offer a nominal voltage between 3.0V and 3.7V. They’re smaller than 18650 cells but use similar lithium‑ion chemistry (LiCoO₂) for excellent energy density and performance.

Our 16340 rechargeable batteries are all 3.6V nominal Li‑Ion cells, designed for durability, reliability, and high output. Compared to standard NiMH batteries, they are noticeably lighter and deliver superior power for their size.

Compatibility and Charging

Many modern devices are designed to support both 3.0V CR123A and 3.6V Li‑Ion 16340 batteries, offering flexibility across a wide range of equipment.

Note: Li‑Ion rechargeable batteries require a compatible Li‑Ion charger. Using the correct charger ensures safety, optimal performance, and long battery life.

FAQs

CR123A is typically a 3.0V primary (non‑rechargeable) lithium battery. 16340 is the rechargeable Li‑Ion version, usually 3.6V nominal. Always check device compatibility.

Many devices accept both 3.0V CR123A and 3.6V 16340 cells, but not all. Refer to your device manual or manufacturer’s guidance to avoid damage.

Yes. Li‑Ion rechargeable batteries require a dedicated Li‑Ion charger to ensure safe charging and to maintain battery health.

Yes. 16340 cells are shorter and smaller in diameter than 18650 batteries, making them ideal for compact, high‑output devices.
