Fenix RCR123A 950 mAh Li-ion

Fenix ARB-L16-950P is a rechargeable Li-ion battery of size RCR123A (16340) with a capacity of 950 mAh. It can be charged in rechargeable lamps and headlamps, but also in a classic external charger. It is particularly suitable for devices with higher current consumption, e.g. lamps and headlamps Fenix E18R V2.0, Fenix HM50R V2.0, Fenix HM51R V2.0, Fenix Vitae, Fenix PD25R. Li-ion technology gives one of the best ratios of the amount of stored energy to the weight of the cell. The batteries have no memory effect and self-discharge is minimal.

Battery protection can be divided into two areas. The first includes electronic circuits that prevent the cell from being overcharged (a situation where there is a risk of explosion in classic li-ion batteries) or, conversely, from being over-discharged (the battery would then not be able to be recharged). In addition, these circuits protect the battery against short circuits or high current consumption, which could damage the battery. If the battery electronics evaluate that the limit values have been reached, it disconnects the cell. The second includes overheating protection (PTC thermal protection) and a special anti-explosion valve. Unlike other valves used in li-ion batteries, this one separates the electrodes inside the battery when the gas pressure in the cell exceeds a certain limit, thereby de-facto interrupting the exothermic reaction and releasing the excess gas pressure outside the battery. Thanks to the combination of electronic and mechanical (temperature and pressure) protection, the Fenix battery is one of the safest available li-ion batteries.

The RCR123A battery is the same size as the disposable lithium CR123A battery, which is why it is often used in flashlights as a rechargeable alternative to these disposable cells. Before using for the first time, check whether your appliance supports this cell, as has a higher nominal voltage compared to a disposable battery. These batteries can also be used in, for example, Fenix E15 XP-G2, E16, Fenix RC09, CL09, Fenix PD22 Ultimate Edition and LD15R flashlights.

ATTENTION – do not use in Fenix E15 (not valid for E15 XP-G2), PD10, PD12, PD20, PD22 (not valid for Ultimate Edition) and HL50, risk of damage to the electronics!
