Fenix ARB-L16-950P is a rechargeable Li-ion battery in RCR123A (16340) size with a capacity of 950 mAh. It can be charged in charging torches and head torches as well as in a conventional external charger. It is particularly suitable for devices with higher current draw, for example Fenix E18R V2.0, Fenix HM50R V2.0, Fenix HM51R V2.0, Fenix Vitae and Fenix PD25R torches and head torches. Li-ion technology provides one of the best ratios of stored energy to battery weight. Batteries have no memory effect and self-discharge is minimal.

Battery protection can be divided into two areas. The first includes electronic circuits that prevent overcharging of the cell (a situation where conventional li-ion batteries carry a risk of explosion) or conversely excessive discharge (the battery would then not be able to recharge). Additionally, these circuits protect the battery against short circuit or high current draw that could damage the battery. If the battery electronics detect that limit values have been reached, they disconnect the cell. The second area includes protection against overheating (PTC thermal protection) and a special anti-explosion valve. Unlike other valves used in li-ion batteries, this one, when the gas pressure in the cell exceeds a certain threshold, separates the electrodes inside the battery and thereby effectively interrupts the exothermic reaction and releases excess gas pressure outside the battery. Thanks to the combination of electronic and mechanical (thermal and pressure) protection, the Fenix battery is among the safest available Li-ion batteries.

In size, the battery corresponds to the RCR123A single-use lithium CR123A battery, which is why it is often used in torches as a rechargeable alternative to these single-use cells. Before first use, check whether your device supports this cell, as it has a higher nominal voltage compared to the single-use battery. These batteries can also be used in torches such as Fenix E15 XP-G2, E16, Fenix RC09, CL09, Fenix PD22 Ultimate Edition and LD15R.

WARNING – do not use in Fenix E15 (does not apply to E15 XP-G2), PD10, PD12, PD20, PD22 (does not apply to Ultimate Edition) and HL50, risk of electronics damage!
