| This
RCR-123A battery has proven to work best in single cell
applications; especially single cell LED flashlights. This
battery has a safety circuit which protects it against
overloads, short circuits, etc. When used in series, the
batteries sometimes will "open" or go to the fault condition as
they think there is a problem. The more closely balanced or
evenly charged they are, the easier it is to use them in
series.
Keep in mind that these are
protected but not regulated, so you are dealing with a battery
that will reach about 4.2V coming right off the charger if fully
charged. This voltage can be harmful to incandescent lights.
We do not recommend their use in incandescent flashlights due to
the higher voltage of the battery.
If you happen to get one of
them to trip to the "open" or fault condition, it will reset.
You can simply place it in the charger over night and it will
reset and begin charging as though all was normal. We have
found a few other chargers that this battery will work in but
cannot guarantee that your existing charger will work and cannot
recommend you using different chargers. |
