I was very pleased with the battery I chose. [...] I was visiting NYC and needed a battery for my film camera. Every store I checked was selling knock-off brand CR123 batteries for [$], but the representative at B&H was honest with me and sold me a Panasonic brand battery for just [$]! And he gave me lots of the good chewy candies that they have all over the B&H store. Thank you for being awesome, B&H, and for selling me a great product!

Good Batteries
Not much to say, they worked as expected. If you plan to use a lot of these, get the bulk discount.

Comments about General Brand 123A 3V Lithium Battery:
Haven't used much yet, but bought a backup battery for my SU-800 Commander unit since I found out that these are NOT rechargeable. Bought the SU-800 to have the capability to shoot wireless and so far, so good!! This battery cost about $4 less ea. than our local batteries store.

Comments about General Brand 123A 3V Lithium Battery:
I purchased this battery for my R1 Wireless Close-up speedlight system. It came recommended on the site that I purchased the system from. I can't say whether it holds it's own in the battery world yet as I have only used my system twice so far. I was happy with the price I purchased this product for and will have to compare it with the competitors before I purchase this product again.

Comments about General Brand 123A 3V Lithium Battery:
The batteries were fresh with expiration dates far into the future. This was my main concern with ordering batteries online, so I worried that they'd come with 1 year left on them, but was pleasantly surprised to see they were good thru 2020. I use them in a flashlight and the light is very bright... very happy with my purchase.

Comments about General Brand 123A 3V Lithium Battery:
This is one fabulous battery!! It fit perfectly in my light meter and supplied the necessary power to flawlessly operate the unit. The length, diameter and weight were well within applicable ANSI parameters. Moreover the current supply was regularly within 95% of the RMS coefficient. Suffice to say that I will undoubtedly purchase this gem again.

Comments about General Brand 123A 3V Lithium Battery:
I feel so bad purchasing and using non-rechargeable batteries. It would be great if the site would offer rechargeable ones and automatically put them as an accessory for the r1c1 flash. I bought four, need three, and turn them off as soon as I have nothing in range to photograph-have no idea how long the batteries will last.

I use these batteries in my Pentax 6x7 camera. While they were sold as "general brand" they were actually Panasonic. I've used Panasonic before and they served me well.
