Ultra Short Life

First experience with the Duracell 123 was when my SimpliSafe keypad alerted me to replace the battery in my glass-breakage sensor after being in service only 3 1/2 months. Supposed to last 12 times that long. I pull it out and it reads 3V, but not enough power to run a passive sensor.

Duracell ultra lithium 123 battery-USED TO BE GOOD

When my security system was installed the batteries lasted quite a while. Over the past 3 years the life of the batteries have declined a lot. I do not remember the original batteries having chinese characters on them. The newer ones do. Does this mean that my securty system is using knock off chinese batteries and I am paying for them. They seem to go bad in a few months. They also said that the batteries do not last as long during the winter months. At this rate I am going to have to give up my security. because I cannot afford batteries.

Shortest lasting battery I have ever used

I bought the Arlo Security System with 3 cameras. Each camera takes 4 batteries. The original batch lasted about 3 weeks and I wasn't upset because I figured that they had been sitting for a while. After replacing them I watched the battery drain very closely and saw them drain completely in 4 weeks with the average use per camera of 4 hours per day. The issue is not just the cost but the time that it takes to get the extension ladder out, climb up to each camera, and having the whole neighborhood watch me change them because it must be done during the daytime. And over the course of 18 months, my neighbors started asking what kind of batteries they were taking to go out so quickly. Some were very puzzled when I told them Duracell. I am now searching for rechargeable batteries to use so I imagine that I'll be going through a few more companies trying to find a battery that won't have me climbing my ladder as often as I wash my truck. I would like to recommend a solution to my friends and neighbors but at this time I can not.

Poor battery life

I have 4 CR17345 in my Arlo Camera and they've lasted 5 weeks. I bought this camera to keep my house safe but not sure how I'm going to afford the batteries that need to go in the camera if they're only lasting a month or so.

Use the CR123A with my Arlo cameras for two years. Duracell last longer the Energizer or Panasonic. Forget the clones. Only fast drain issue was fixed with Arlo software patch. Weather affects battery life. Buy from trusted source. Should get 8-10 year expiration date.
