Is this safe charging 3.0V CR-123 batteries???

It is verry safe. it has exceeded my expectations! funny thing though it says on the back of the package "use, the charger should not be put out of reach of children" poor translation. Good product.

CR-123 are not to be recharge may explode or catch on fire. the batteries need to say rechargeable before you can do so the 18650s has a circuit in the battery to protect you against this.

Yes you can recharge 3.0 volt cr123 in this charger. Most cr123 batteries can charge at up to 550ma @ 4.2 volts. This chargers output is 500ma @ 4.2 volts.

I do know? My Charger works fine for me. You need to check with a Tech Guy to make sure it works for your type of Battery. Why not get the correct one from your Battery supplier. That way you know that it will work. Spend the few extra bucks and get the right one. You'll be a lot happier and safer. How this helped you out.Tower4269

Be sure the chemistry of your CR123(A) battery is Li-Ion, not just Lithium. The former are rechargeable; the latter is not.

Well........I'm not sure what "unprotected" batteries are in YOUR case, but I have 4 different 18650 batteries and they ALL charge up and the charger LED DOES turn green after the batteries have a full charge. Now this is for ME and the batteries that I have. One of the batteries I have is an Ultrafire BRC 18650 3.7V li-ion 3800mAh , and another one is an Ultrafire BRC 18650 3.7V li-ion 4000mAh. The other two are in flashlights that I have at another house so I can't answer what the brand is for those. But as I said.......the charger unit DOES turn green with these batteries in there.

No - you need to buy a charger that's compatible with the new batteries. The clue is in the color ! The old chargers will not charge the Li-ion batteries properly and in fact risk overcharging them and burning them out. The new chargers are infinitely better (with an overcharging protection circuit), and actually have revived my old Ni-Cd batteries when their original chargers wouldn't charge them anymore. I have a P-117 that I bought on eBay and have no hesitation in recommending it to you.

I probably wouldn't if it were mine. Some electronics and batteries may be damaged by a power source that provides too much current (Your charger needs .3 amps and this supply puts out 1 amp). The device I am using with my power supply is a cheapy unit that is inexpensive, so no harm if it gets fried. I am also using my power supply to take the place of batteries, not for charging batteries like you're wanting to do. My recommendation is to pass on this as it might cause damage. Good luck :-)

Doubtful that you will get a 100% answer. That said, if your charge charge the correct batteries you need, and you buy Wasabi batteries of the same kind... what are you worried about?

I'm not going to get political, but I haven't had any problems with these batteries, if that's what you're asking. I've probably got 25 or so charges on mine and they've been great, other than a misspelling on the side of the battery, "Caution: Battery can explore or cause burns if overcharged, disassembled or exposed to fire." No fun at all.

A voltage meter won't tell you whether the batteries meet manufacturer specs and supply full power under load. You need a battery tester like the ZTS to do that. I just received an order of Duracells that failed that test - the second such order of CR 123 batteries from Amazon that did so. The first order was Energizer brand. I learned of the deficiency the hard way when my security system started sending off false alarms after I installed the batteries. I talked to a battery shop specialist, who said that happens when they resell factory rejects.

The C-3 replaced my 19.2 v battery with no problems. It also charges without any trouble, but I might suggest you visityour nearest Sears store and check with them. They often carry the batteries also and it will save you the shipping cost.

Yes, they are like any cr123a batteries. They seem to hold a very good charge and are worth having. The charger works great too.

It does have an overcharge safety, but I'd never advise leaving these types of batteries in any charger for more time that it takes to charge them, let alone days or weeks. You're just asking for trouble in that scenario.

I don't know, sorry I cannot answer that, however I am sure it is safe to charge 2 batteries.

If the battery is charged in the camera rather than in a seperate charging cradle then extra caution is certainly called for. The charging process is the most dangerous (barring accidental shorting of the battery's contacts). Most bad batteries just refuse to hold a charge though. One of the reasons reviews of 3rd party batteries are all over the map is that, in my experience, you may get a perfectly usable battery or you may get a complete dud that can't even be charged at all or which only lasts for a few minutes. Some batteries are just stored too long and their charge has fallen too low over time to keep the battery viable (batteries have a limited shelf life). And some batteries are just not manufactured very well. I have a Lenmar universal camera battery charger but I'm not too confident in it (for one thing, it doesn't use the batteries' built-in thermal protection lead and, for another, it seems to stumble with very low batteries). Haven't tried Lenmar batteries in particular though. The best high quality 3rd party batteries I HAVE tried are made by SterlingTek.com http://sterlingtek.com/canb13bapaeq.html

I really don't know but I see that someone else said it will only charge basic 18 v batteries.

Yes, just be very careful that you put them in correctly. Otherwise, any remaining charge in the battery will melt the charger.

I see nothing to indicate it would. The unit appears designed to charge standard AA, AAA, C, D (all of which are 1.2v-1.5v) and 9v batteries. Nothing about a 3.6v battery. And so I doubt it. I suppose you could try it, but in my experience using too low a charging voltage will usually not fully charge a battery, and also potentially will shorten it's life.

I tried to charge my 10440 batteries with the charger and it was not successful. It could be a failure on my part. However, I would buy a charger specifically for the 10440 batteries just to be certain of a proper charge. That's what I did. The charger still charges every other battery I have thrown at it.

As far as I have researched it should charge these...Lion 26650, 22650, 18650, 17670, 18490, 17500, 17335, 16340(RCR123), 14500, 10440 Ni-MH / Ni-Cd: AA, AAA, C -
