3V CR123A Battery - 1400mAh

When taking a look at the incredibly diverse range of different Electronics, devices, tools and equipment that require batteries to operate nowadays, it becomes quite obvious just how popular batteries have become in our modern world. In fact, pretty much every one of us uses batteries on a daily basis, from the Lithium Batteries in our phones to the small Coin Cells that keep our computer’s time on track, and this has completely changed the way we use electronic devices, as we no longer need a direct connection to a power grid or external supply, and we can now take our favourite toys, tools and gadgets out into the world with us!

These Panasonic 3V 1400mAh CR123A Batteries are fantastic little power-providers that are designed primarily for use in devices like Cameras, which are not in use all of the time, but sometimes require continuous low-power supply for user interface operations, and then sometimes also require peak draws for flash units. They offer a relatively humble 20mA continuous output, with 900mA peak (or pulse) draws, and a common logic-level voltage of 3V. This makes them ideal for powering the electronics in digital cameras, with the ability to pump the power when necessary for the flash, while the small form factor and low weight also allows them to be fitted discretely, and without weighing down the device more than necessary.

Typical Applications for these 3V 1400mAh CR123A Batteries:

Despite being made primarily for cameras and similar portable devices, these CR123A batteries can also be used in Hobby Electronics as well, providing sufficient energy for a good range of low-power components and modules. However, just remember that these are not rechargeable, so we would typically rather suggest a Li-Ion or Li-Po Battery to power electronics projects, although if you are dealing with space limitations or would otherwise struggle to drop a 3.7V supply from a Li-Po down to 3V, then these Panasonic 3V 1400mAh CR123A Batteries may just be the ideal solution.
