Are these protected?

Short answer - yes. However, if you try to use them after they have reached their "protected" level of discharge, you can get them to discharge so low they will not recharge.

If you mean "do they have an internal overload circuit?" Yes. They must be used in a regulated component. I can't use them in my Streamlight Pro-Tac flashlight. It will only stay on for about thirty seconds and then the light shuts off. I wish I knew this before I bought them since that flashlight is the only thing I have that uses CR123 batteries.

From the Tenergy website: Cylindrical Li-Ion rechargeable cell with internal protection circuit module. Internal PCM protection prevents under voltage at 2.5V and over voltage at 4.25V.

Yes; been running them in LED flashlights and gun sights for a year with no problems.

Yes, Internal over-charge and over-discharge protection to prevent battery over use.

They do have a protective coating on them of some sort. I have mine under a covered patio, but I do think they would hold up to moisture and rain.

I am not certain if they are, but my best educated guess is, "No." They are of a plastic nature and all plastic scratches.

Yes, they are, and they don't need protection between them--BUT the plates do. If you don't put a paper plate or paper towel or something between the RR plates they will get scratched and damaged.

I do not believe so. But they are water proof... sealed lightly. You would have to ask the seller specifically. thanks

I am not sure about that? They are electronic so I don't think they are water resistant.

I'm sorry I have no idea because mine are stored in area that is protected from the elements. :(

Mine have. I've never been careful with them and I have had some that were not used for a year from time of purchase.

I would not trust them to be waterproof. There is no indication from the mfg. that they are.

Mine were. They provide reasonable protection for my iPhone 5S at an outstanding price.

My daughter doesn't seem to have any problems with them being covered. It's a soft cover, easily pressed and used.

They are water protected. We love this set. we do bring them inside after use to ensure they stay clean. The fabric is so light it would show anything.

They are bagged, then boxed and really well-protected. There should be no problems...at least I had none.

Yes they do. Protected by a plastic window. Remove the key ring to slide the paper insert out to write on it or replace that insert with same size insert.

Yes they are secure. I love these and have got a lot of nice comments about them.

I have mine outside in an unprotected area, doesmn't sem to affect them. Might be a good idea to protect them though,m just a rain shield or something. AJ
