Fenix RCR123A/16340 (Li-Ion) High Current rechargeable USB battery
Product description
Battery protection can be divided into two areas. In the first, electronic circuits are added, which prevent the cell from being overcharged (a situation where there is a risk of explosion with classic li-ion batteries) or, on the contrary, from discharging too much (the battery would then not be able to be recharged). In addition, these circuits protect the battery against a short circuit or high current consumption, which could damage the battery. If the battery electronics evaluates reaching the limit values, it disconnects the cell.
The second area is protection against overheating (PTC thermal protection) and a special anti-explosion valve. Unlike other valves used in li-ion batteries, this one, when the gas pressure in the cell exceeds a certain limit, separates the electrodes inside the battery and thus de-facto interrupts the exothermic reaction and releases the excess gas pressure outside the battery. Thanks to the combination of electronic and mechanical (temperature and pressure) protection, Fenix batteries are among the safest li-ion batteries available.
The size of the RCR123 accumulator corresponds to the disposable lithium CR123A battery, which is why it is often used in lights as a rechargeable alternative to these disposable cells. Check first if your appliance supports this article, as it has a higher nominal voltage compared to a disposable battery. These batteries can also be used, for example, in Fenix E15 XP-G2, E16, E18R, PD25R, Fenix RC09, HM50R, HM51R, CL09, Fenix PD22 Ultimate Edition lamps.
ATTENTION - do not use in Fenix E15 (does not apply to E15 XP-G2), PD10, PD12, PD20, PD22 (does not apply to Ultimate Edition) and HL50, there is a risk of damage to the electronics!
Due to the length of 35.5 mm, it may not fit into older models of lamps!

Product question
Fenix RCR123A/16340 (Li-Ion) High Current rechargeable USB battery
Rechargeable battery Fenix ARB-L16-700UP (RCR123A, 16340) with its own charging mico-USB connector. It can be charged by connecting the cable to the micro-USB connector (e.g. from a computer or mobile phone charger), as well as in a classic charger. Compared to ARB-L16-700U and ARB-L16-700 batteries, it is designed for a higher discharge current (up to 2.5 A). It is therefore particularly suitable for devices with a larger current draw, e.g. for Fenix E16 and Fenix E18R flashlights. 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.
