This is my review of WEGWANG rechargeable CR123A Batteries, 3.7 Volts and 800mAh per battery.For testing purposes I am used a Bushnell Pro 600 Lumens LED Flashlight. I didn’t want to run the test on my Streamlight not knowing how the rechargeable batteries would work from an unknown brand.About the flashlight being used.-Cost around $35-Runs on two CR123A batteries-600 lumen w/max run time of 2hrs (settings with longer runtimes and lower output not tried for testing)-Aluminum bodyThe Batteries.-Testing the WEGWANG rechargeable CR123A Batteries, 3.7 Volts and 800mAh capacity-Comparing against Streamlight disposable CR123A Batteries, 3.0 Volts w/unknown capacityThe Review.I ordered these batteries wanting to save some money. I go thru CR123A batteries often enough that I am hoping to save some money. I work in the woods (and having good lighting is a must at night. I usually use Streamlight’s CR123A batteries; I get the 12 Pack on Amazon for around $22. I bought these for about $40. This pack comes with 8 rechargeable batteries and a 4 port charger. Company says that each battery can be recharged 550 times. If I can even get 1/5 of that I will be saving a lot of money over time. So first thing I did was just test the batteries in the flashlight. The Bushnell has a run time of 2hrs at full output of 600 lumens. Starting Lumen output seems to be close with both batteries. With the Streamlight batteries I usually get the 2hrs with 100% at 1hr 50% output at about 1.5hrs and dead at 2.5hrs. The WEGWANG rechargeable were at 100% at 1hr, 50% at 1.25hrs and dead at 1.5hrs. So the end drain off is faster and batteries don’t last as long. With that being said I can just pop them back in the charger and go again when charged. Recharge time seems to vary per battery from 1 to 2hrs. The charger has a charge indicator with % to know when charged. Product comes with smart charger but I take them out after to be sure there is no overcharge or load issues. I have cycled each rechargeable battery 3 times by just leaving the flashlight on until they shut off. So far I have had no issues other than shorter battery life from the disposable. Being able to recharge them solves that problem.Strange but non-issue so far is the charger. The charger seems to jump rather fast when charging the batteries when I first got them. I waited till the charger said 100% and they seem to last as stated above. It seems to only happen when the batteries are full charged and placed back in the charger. They will start at random % and quickly go up to 100%Overall I am happy with them. They work well and hopefully save me some money in the long run. They do what they need to and recharge and go again without issues. I think the unknowns with the charger are strange but the batteries do work well and have held up till now. I made my review after a week of use and the initial 3 cycle testing. Will update in future if batteries don't hold up.

Finally found rechargeable 123A batteries! I can’t find these at stores so I have to buy them online anyways. Now I don’t have to buy these anymore. The charger charges them individually, which is pretty cool, like my eneloop battery charger does as well. They seem to last a good while, maybe not as long as new non-rechargeable a, but I can’t complain, it comes with plenty of extra batteries.

I thought this was great. I got these batteries for my Arlo cameras. The first time I charged them (new) they were fine, but they didn't hold their charge long. All batteries showed 100% when I put them in the cameras. One showed the batteries were dead again, by the next day. I was going to recharge them, but before I could, the batteries, which were supposed to be dead, blew my camera up. There is virtually nothing left to the camera. Arlo cameras aren't cheap!

The charger is smart and has a nice display that showed you exactly what % battery is charging at. Has an attached cable that you can plug into any USB type 2 port or phone charger. The Batteries are as good as any other rechargeable for ARLO and work OK - when the batteries are fully charged the ARLO cam still isn’t 100% like with one-time use because the lower amperage. The state 800 mAh vs 1500 for one time use. Can’t detect any difference with the slightly higher voltage than 3 volts. Rechargeable registers 70% at best and you have to remember to reset your Hub to get it correctly. If the ARLO cam is set to "best life”, not too sensitive to motion, and 10 sec video - they can last a month, maybe 1.5. As long as the camera is in an accessible area changing the battery more often isn’t a hassle and these can save you a LOT of money over time. Will buy more batteries also but separately.

It's pretty cool with the digital readout that tells you the percentage of charge on each battery. This is a really good feature. The thing I don't like is that it only charges on USB-C or standard USB. Standard USB plug broke after three uses. So now I'm forced to use USB-C to power the charger.

Good product, works well, shipped timely!

I expected 3.7A...these are 3.0A. They do not work for high intensity and high lumen flashlights.However, the charger and this set up is neat. Just not happy that these are lower amps and wasn't listed when I bought them. My loss I guess

Works as described for rechargeable batteries for my arlo cameras. Just received so I cannot review longevity. Charged batteries right when I received the product and put them in the cameras. Everything has worked great so far.
