This is the industrial version of the Panasonic CR123 battery.
The rating says max. 1A, but I test up to 3A.



These batteries does not have a colorful retail package, only a sealed plastic bag for each cell.









Except at 3A the curves are basically the same as the retail version. When getting down to about 1 volt they do have slight more capacity.









Conclusion

The performance of these batteries is basically the same as the retail version.

Thanks for the review,

:slight_smile: Long ago I was on the phone with duracell representative asking about their CR123 and remember her mentioning that their Procell CR123 (black/red/silver label) was the exact same as their retail CR123.
