DURACELL PROCELL
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DURACELL PROCELL from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between Duracell Procell Constant and Procell Intense batteries?
Procell Constant batteries are designed for low-to-medium drain devices that operate continuously or intermittently with modest current draw, such as remote controls, clocks, and wireless sensors. Procell Intense batteries are formulated for higher-drain equipment that requires more frequent pulses of power, such as handheld tools, medical devices, and security systems. Both series use alkaline chemistry in AA, AAA, and 9V formats, but the internal construction and discharge characteristics differ to match the load profile. Selecting the correct series helps maintain voltage stability and can extend replacement intervals in the intended application.
What are the specifications of the Duracell Procell CR2032 coin cell?
The Duracell Procell CR2032 is a 2032-size disposable coin battery with lithium/manganese dioxide chemistry. It delivers a nominal voltage of 3V DC. The cell is commonly used in key fobs, remote controls, calculators, and medical devices where a compact, long-life power source is required. It is not rechargeable. The manufacturer part number for this item is CR2032, and it is supplied as a coin cell. For exact dimensions and pulse discharge curves, refer to the manufacturer datasheet.
What is the capacity and voltage of the Duracell Procell 123/CR123 lithium battery?
The Duracell Procell 123/CR123 is a lithium primary cell with a nominal voltage of 3V DC and a capacity of 1,600 mAh. It is supplied in a 12-pack under manufacturer part number CR123. This cell is suitable for security systems, medical devices, flashlights, and sensors that require stable voltage and long shelf life. Because it is a primary (non-rechargeable) lithium battery, it should not be recharged. The 123 format is also known as CR123, and the two designations refer to the same size.
Are Duracell Procell AA and AAA batteries available in both Constant and Intense series?
Yes. The Duracell Procell line includes AA and AAA alkaline batteries in both the Constant and Intense series. The Constant series AA is identified by manufacturer part number PC1500BKD, and the Constant series AAA by PC2400BKD. The Intense series AA uses part number PX1500, and the Intense series AAA uses PX2400. All four deliver 1.5V DC and are supplied in 24-pack quantities. The choice between series depends on the drain profile of the device: Constant for low-to-medium drain, Intense for higher-drain applications.
What is the voltage and pack size of the Duracell Procell 9V batteries?
Duracell Procell 9V batteries are alkaline cells delivering 9V DC. They are available in both the Constant and Intense series. The Constant series 9V is supplied under manufacturer part number PC1604BKD in a 12-pack, while the Intense series 9V uses part number PX1604, also in a 12-pack. Typical applications include smoke detectors, multimeters, test instruments, medical equipment, and security systems. The Constant series is intended for everyday industrial use, while the Intense series is designed for devices with higher power demands.
Can Duracell Procell batteries be used in medical devices?
Duracell Procell batteries are commonly used in medical devices such as glucose monitors, infusion pumps, and portable diagnostic equipment. The lithium coin and 123 cells are often selected for their stable voltage and long shelf life, while the alkaline AA, AAA, and 9V cells serve devices with moderate drain. However, it is the device manufacturer's responsibility to specify the acceptable battery types and replacement intervals. Always consult the medical device's instructions for use before selecting a replacement battery, and verify that the voltage, chemistry, and physical dimensions match the original specification.
