"Great batteries!"












The Nitecore N166 RCR123A Battery is a highly capable Lithium-Ion battery designed specifically for high performance electronics. These powerful RCR123A batteries deliver an impressive 3.7 Volts of power and can hold a charge of up to 650 mAh, making them perfect for high drain devices such as LED flashlights, video game consoles, cameras, appliances, and more. The cells come standard with a high-performance protection circuit that provides overcharge and over-discharge protection, safeguarding themselves from possible internal damage that could lower their capacity, ensuring they last as long as possible. The NL166 is capable of being recharged more than 500 times, making it both cost effective and environmentally friendly.
Just as impressive as the NL166's power is its sophisticated safe design. The RCR123A batteries are equipped with a nickel-plated S.S. protectors at both ends to provide high impact resistance, good electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance. To prevent abrasions and other external damage, the NL166 cells are coated with a durable metallic film, while its circuit board is coated with an ultra tough plastic. The cell's innovative anode is designed to resist high temperatures, while a micro-porous barrier within the battery protects its delicate internal components. The battery even features a specialized pressure relief valve that activates if the battery experiences a rapid temperature increase.

"Great batteries!"
"Charged up easily and works well. Will be less expensive in the long run. Nice."
"I've never had a bad Nitecore battery and these RCR123s are no exception. They take and hold a charge well and hold up under use."
"I bought 4 of these for, low draw, alarm sensors around the house. One battery came extremely low in charge. I don't remember if it read 0v or near 0v. In any case my preferred charger did not recognize the batteries' presence but it did the other 3. I was able to start charging this battery in another charger (for a short while) and then it was recognized by my preferred charger. This one battery and another have been running sensors for over two weeks now. The other 2 are in storage."
"I have about a 1/2 dozen of these and the oldest are now from 2015 and still working just fine and not noticeably degraded vs brand new ones from 2021. . (I'm sure there is some degradation after 6 years, but it's not been enough to notice for my use)"
"These batteries work great! I use them in my ThruNite W1 and my Wowtac W1 with no problems. They work on a standard charger as well and hold their charge well from what I can see so far. Thank you Battery Junction for having these in stock!"
"These work great in my OLight weapons light. They last a good bit longer than my regular CR123 rechargeables. I am impressed so far by their performance."
"I have Nitecore rechargeable batteries in ALL my tactical lights. Just today, I went to recharge my Streamlight ProTac 2L 123A which takes 2 123As but when I inserted them into my charger (to my surprise) they read a full charge and this was after sitting idle for almost three months. That's what I want in my lights when I need them! Will always buy Nitecore. GB"
"Only rechargeable batteries I buy as Nitecore products are the best both batteries and flashlights."
"These really are awesome. I'm gradually transitioning to rechargables, but I still like to use these in a pinch. They last a very long time and I've never had one leak after using these for about 4 years."
