Panasonic Cr123A Industrial Lithium Battery Charger

I use the watson cr123a rechargeable lithium for my personal portable air cleaner. I get around 80 hours of use before I have too recharge the batteries. And as usual B & H is superb in delivery fast. I highly recommend the Watson cr123a rechargeable lithium battery.

I never unpack the OEM chargers that come with the cameras I purchase, because the charger and the industrial capacity plug/cord that comes with them are as big as the cameras themselves. When I order the camera, I order this Watson charger, and they have never let me down. To save even more weight and bulk when traveling, you could bring just one charger body and the battery specific faceplates for each battery type you travel with.

This lithium battery is very reliable.

Use the CR123A with my Arlo cameras for two years. Duracell last longer the Energizer or Panasonic. Forget the clones. Only fast drain issue was fixed with Arlo software patch. Weather affects battery life. Buy from trusted source. Should get 8-10 year expiration date.

The Watson NP-BX1 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack and Charger Kit is perfect as a second backup battery. The charger has an easy to see charge indicator light !

only been in use for the last week .... All seems excellent... NO issues yet .... I think these Watson 3V CR123A Lithium Batteries are protected were as I am unable to over charge the battery by leaving the battery in the charger, if this is the case ..... then this Watson Dual Rapid Charger and Watson 3V CR123A rechargable batteries are excellent for my device.

I'm only reviewing this to give everyone a heads up on why you should only buy this Battery from Panasonic. The LX10 does not include an external Battery Charger, you have to charge the battery while it's in the camera which #1 is a pain and #2, is not a convenient way to have a spare battery. Big Mike's Sells a Battery Charger Kit. I bought the Big Mike's Battery Charger Kit for this particular battery. It comes with the Charger and 1 or 2 (depending on which kit you buy) NON Panasonic Brand Batteries. The Charger is fine and works perfectly and charges the Battery fast but be aware of the Batteries they supply for the LX 10, they are slighly oversized and can get stuck in the camera making them very difficult to remove. When I first tried to insert the battery I could feel how tight it was and decided not to take any chances and discarded the battery to a recycling center. I bought this Battery that Panasonic makes and won't have to worry about any problems. I know they cost more than the knock off batteries but I'm not going to damage my LX10 to save a few bucks.

The Watson CR123A and CR2 charger work as expected. It is very easy to input the batteries and see the indicator status - which can't be said of other chargers.

The charger works as advertised. Actually, it doesn't take as long to charge a fully depleted battery as is stated in the instructions. I have two rifle laser sights that use a CR123A and needed a charger and two spare CR123A rechargeable batteries for them. This was the perfect answer.

I use CR123A batteries in my radio popper units. This charger fits very nicely in my camera bag and quickly recharges 2 batteries.
