❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Are 16340 batteries the same as CR123?
A: No, 16340 batteries are not the same as CR123 batteries. While they share a similar size, 16340 batteries are rechargeable lithium-ion cells (3.7V), whereas CR123 batteries are non-rechargeable lithium cells (3.0V) with different voltage and charging requirements.
Q2: What is a 16340 battery equivalent to?
A: 16340 battery is commonly considered equivalent in size to a CR123 or CR123A battery. However, a 16340 is rechargeable and rated at 3.7V, while CR123/CR123A batteries are non-rechargeable and rated at 3.0V, so they are not always interchangeable.
Q3: Which is better CR123A or 16340 battery?
A: Neither is universally better—it depends on the application. CR123A batteries offer longer shelf life and lower voltage for devices designed for disposables, while 16340 batteries are rechargeable, more cost-effective over time, and better for users who need frequent recharging.
Q4: What is the difference between 16340 and 18650 batteries?
A: The main difference between 16340 and 18650 batteries is size and capacity: 18650 cells are much larger and provide significantly higher energy capacity. In contrast, 16340 batteries are smaller and lighter, making them better suited for compact devices with limited space.
