CR123A Non-Rechargable Lithium Batteries. 6 pack $14.98 @ Bunnings.
Lesser known brand but typically CR123A Batteries can be $10 each for known brands.
Makes it much cheaper to deploy your original series Arlo cameras.
Shelf life is till 2021.
the world'd be powered by eneloop
Holds energy for up to 10 years without issues.
Smaller or at least similar size to a AA cell but more energy density up to 3 times more Wh then an Eneloop pro.
My personal favorite EDC lights are 16340 (CR123) lights. They can deliver good current also without getting to hot.
They are for situations where it's critical that the device to work even after sitting unused for a long time, like an emergency torch.
There's one in my old film P+S camera that has been in a drawer for over a decade. When I turned on the camera the cell still was able to power up the camera!
Ok.. but this is for a security camera! It's always on!
Maybe it's backup power? I don't know the model in question, I'm just commenting on what the cell is suitable for.
I've bought a nitecore d4 and decent cr123 rechargeables for my Arlo cameras. Was using cheap Chinese ones but they only lasted a year before rapidly draining after charge (good result though for $4 each!)
Non rechargeables like this will last longer than rechargeables, but more expensive in the long run (taking when used in Arlo, obviously)
Great price though!
Not always true it depends on the application. If it's a high drain device the 16340 will out do the CR123 easily.
Could you plz share the cr123a rechargeables so i can also buy?
Thanks Op, will look for these next time I'm in Bunnings :)
I never understood why someone would choose to adopt a bizarre, expensive battery when designing an item
