Description

Unlock blistering turbo performance in your CR123A-sized devices with the Vapcell T6, a high-drain 16340 cell engineered for maximum current delivery. This 10-pack delivers a true 6A continuous discharge at 3.7V, making it the ultimate choice for FET-driven turbo flashlights, high-power laser pointers, compact vaping devices, and precision micro tools. The button top design ensures solid contact in all compatible devices. Critical Voltage Warning: This is a 3.7V lithium-ion rechargeable cell, while standard disposable CR123A batteries are 3.0V. Using this battery in devices not designed for 3.7V can cause permanent damage. Always verify your device explicitly supports 3.7V 16340 (RCR123A) rechargeable cells before use. With ultra-low internal resistance and Vapcell's trusted quality, the T6 provides explosive power in the most compact CR123A form factor—perfect for enthusiasts and professionals who demand peak performance.

Key Features

• 6A True Continuous Discharge (CDR) – Exceptional current output for a 16340 cell. Handles FET-driven turbo modes, laser diode pulses, and motor start-up surges without dangerous voltage sag. Far outperforms standard 3A 16340 cells for demanding applications.

• 650mAh Optimized Capacity – Balanced for high-drain use. Provides usable runtime while maintaining the ability to deliver 6A continuously. Ideal for applications that prioritize raw power over maximum capacity.

• Button Top Design – Features a raised positive terminal for reliable electrical contact in flashlights, lasers, and devices requiring a button top for proper connection or reverse-polarity protection.

• RCR123A / 16340 Form Factor – Physically identical in dimensions to a standard CR123A battery (approximately 16mm x 34mm). Fits all devices designed for the CR123A form factor. Voltage differs: 3.7V vs. 3.0V CR123A. Verify device compatibility before use.

• Ultra-Low Internal Resistance – Minimizes heat generation and voltage drop under load, ensuring maximum power reaches your device when it needs it most.

• Rechargeable & Economical – Eliminates the ongoing cost and waste of single-use CR123A batteries. One T6 can replace hundreds of disposable cells over its lifetime.

• 10-Pack Bulk Value – Perfect for enthusiasts who need multiple cells for their flashlight collection, professional users with multiple tactical devices, or workshop settings with multiple micro tools.

Parameters

Applications

Recommended For

• FET-Driven Turbo Flashlights (3.7V 16340 Compatible): Push your compact tactical light to its absolute limit. The 6A CDR delivers significantly brighter turbo modes than standard 3A cells, making these perfect for enthusiasts seeking maximum output from CR123A-sized torches. Always verify your flashlight explicitly supports 3.7V 16340 cells.

• High-Power Laser Pointers & Presentation Tools: High-power green or blue laser diodes require substantial current for bright, stable output. The T6 provides clean, sag-free power for demanding laser applications.

• Compact Vaping Devices (Select Models): Certain ultra-compact mods and pod systems use 16340 cells. The 6A rating provides a safe operating margin for moderate builds.

• Precision Micro Tools & Electric Screwdrivers: High-torque micro tools benefit from the 6A surge capability. Perfect for workshop environments where multiple tools need reliable high-current cells.

• Tactical Equipment & IR Illuminators: Professional night vision and tactical devices often require high-drain CR123A-sized cells for peak performance.

• DIY Compact High-Drain Packs: Build small, lightweight battery packs for projects where space is limited but power demands are significant.

Not Recommended For

• Devices Designed Only for 3.0V CR123A: The T6 outputs 3.7V, which is significantly higher than the 3.0V of a standard disposable CR123A. Using this cell in devices not designed for 3.7V can permanently damage sensitive electronics. Always check your device's specifications.

• Long-Runtime Low-Power Devices: With 650mAh capacity, devices like security sensors, basic flashlights, and low-drain electronics are better served by a high-capacity 16340 like the Vapcell P1609A (950mAh/3A).

• Applications Requiring Sustained >6A: For continuous currents above 6A, use a higher-drain cell in a larger form factor such as a high-drain 18650 or 21700.

• 18650 or 21700 Devices: The 16340 is physically smaller and will not make proper contact in larger battery compartments.

FAQ

Q: Can I use this battery to replace a standard CR123A in my flashlight?
A: Only if your device explicitly supports 3.7V rechargeable batteries. Standard CR123A batteries are 3.0V, while the T6 is 3.7V. Many modern tactical flashlights with FET drivers are designed to accept both voltages, but many older or simpler devices are not. Using a 3.7V cell in a 3.0V-only device can permanently damage the driver or LED. Always check your device's manual or manufacturer specifications before use.

Q: Why is the capacity only 650mAh? I've seen 950mAh 16340 cells.
A: The T6 is engineered for maximum current output, not maximum capacity. The 650mAh is a trade-off to achieve the 6A continuous discharge and ultra-low internal resistance. For applications that need longer runtime at lower currents (≤3A), consider the Vapcell P1609A (950mAh/3A) instead.

Q: Is this battery protected? What does "unprotected" mean?
A: The T6 is an unprotected cell, meaning it does not have a built-in circuit board that prevents overcharge, over-discharge, or short circuits. This allows unrestricted current flow, which is essential for high-drain applications. You must rely on your device's built-in protection features or handle the cell carefully. Never short-circuit the terminals, never discharge below 2.5V, and always use a quality charger.

Q: Will this battery get hot during use?
A: At 6A continuous discharge, the T6 will become noticeably warm. This is normal for a high-drain cell of this size, but ensure adequate ventilation and avoid using it in completely sealed devices without heat dissipation. If the battery becomes too hot to touch comfortably, reduce the load or allow it to cool down.

Q: Can I charge this battery with any lithium-ion charger?
A: Yes. The T6 uses standard lithium-ion charging (CC-CV to 4.2V). It is compatible with most quality lithium-ion chargers that accept 16340-sized cells. Charge at 0.5C (325mA) for best longevity.

Q: How should I store these cells when not in use?
A: Store at 3.6–3.7V (approximately 40–50% charge) in a cool, dry place. Use non-conductive battery cases to prevent accidental short circuits—this is especially important for unprotected cells. Avoid storing fully charged or deeply discharged for extended periods.
