Description
The Energizer 223 is a 6V lithium battery designed for cameras, flash units, medical devices and professional equipment that require stable high-voltage power in a compact cell. The lithium chemistry delivers consistent output across the discharge curve, maintaining reliable 6V performance until the cell is depleted rather than gradually fading like alkaline alternatives.
The battery suits compact cameras with auto-flash, handheld medical monitors, security sensors and other devices where a 6V cell replaces multiple lower-voltage cells or provides higher voltage than AA/AAA formats allow. The 10-year shelf life means spare batteries can be stored in a camera bag, equipment case or first-aid kit without degrading, ready for use when the primary cell runs out mid-session.
Energizer rates the 223 for operation across -20°C to +60°C, covering outdoor photography in winter, equipment stored in vehicle gloveboxes during summer, and professional use in varied climates. The lithium construction keeps the cell weight below 11g despite the 6V output, making it lighter than stacked alkaline equivalents while delivering higher energy density per gram.

Frequently Asked
What devices use a 223 battery?
The 223 is used in compact cameras with auto-flash, some medical glucose monitors, security sensors, dog training collars and professional photo equipment. Check your device manual for the specific battery type required, as some devices list 223 interchangeably with CRP2 or DL223A.
How long does the battery last in storage?
Energizer rates the 223 lithium cell for a 10-year shelf life when stored at room temperature. Keep spare batteries in their original blister pack until needed to protect the terminals and maintain the shelf life rating.
Can it replace two CR123A batteries?
No. The 223 is a single 6V cell. Two CR123A cells in series also produce 6V but have different dimensions and capacity ratings. Use only the battery type specified in your device manual.
What temperature range does it operate in?
The lithium chemistry operates from -20°C to +60°C, making it suitable for outdoor photography in winter, equipment stored in hot vehicles during summer, and professional use across varied climates.
