Disposable Batteries
CRV3 with
Flat Top
CR123A, and
CR17355 with Button Top
These batteries hold more power than rechargeable batteries but must be replaced more frequently. When choosing a battery, use the capacity, measured in milliampere-hours, to compare among similar sizes. The higher the mA-hr. rating, the longer the battery should last.
Use alkaline and carbon zinc batteries in low-drain devices such as clocks and radios.
Lithium batteries are lightweight and long lasting. They work well in high-drain devices such as digital cameras.

Lantern Batteries
Power portable lighting such as lanterns, flashlights, and barricade lights. When choosing a battery, use the capacity, measured in milliampere-hours, to compare among similar sizes. The higher the mA-hr. rating, the longer the battery should last.

Long-Life Lantern Batteries
Change batteries less often—these last at least twice as long as standard lantern batteries. Use them to power lanterns, barricade lights, and telecommunications devices. Because they are zinc air batteries, they require oxygen to create power. Activate by removing the tape from the holes in the battery case, allowing oxygen to flow inside. They maintain voltage at a constant level, even during power peaks and pulses that can temporarily drain oxygen. Mount in any position with access to air.
Batteries cannot be sold to the listed areas due to export regulations.

Sealed Large-Cell Batteries for Continuous Use
Provide backup power for emergency lights, alarm systems, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for computers, and other systems that require power over a long period of time. These dry-cell batteries have an absorbed glass mat (AGM) that soaks up the electrolyte, so they’re usable in any position except upside down. They can be recharged hundreds of times.
Warning: Batteries should always be charged and discharged in a ventilated area.

Sealed Large-Cell Batteries for Starting and Continuous Use
 |  Post and Threaded Stud |
Terminal Location A |
Deliver a surge of power to start automobiles and other vehicles, and provide power over a long time. These batteries are deep cycle, so they can handle many charge/deep discharge cycles. All are dry cell, so they have an absorbed glass mat (AGM) that soaks up the electrolyte and can be used in any position except upside down. They can be recharged hundreds of times.
Reserve capacity is the number of minutes that a new, fully charged battery can continuously discharge at 25 amps at 80° F. Marine cranking amps is the maximum amps that a new, fully charged battery can continuously deliver for 30 seconds at 32° F.
Warning: Batteries should always be charged and discharged in a ventilated area.
