Very pleased with the performance so far. Good substitute for a CR123-series disposable battery. More economical in the long run, and also better for the environment.
Note that this particular battery does not have a micro-USB charging port; you’ll need a Fenix ARE-series charger, or something similar.
That wasn’t an issue for me, but if you don’t already have a charger and you only need a couple of batteries, you might want to consider the ARB-L16-700U or ARB-L16-700UP instead of this model.

This was my first purchase from Fenix. I bought just one battery and it was an excellent purchase! This company treated me as if I bought 100 batteries! Very fast shipping and quick to answer any questions thank you Fenix. ps the battery is the best!

I haven’t had this battery long enough to determine long term use but I’ve experienced no problems. I’ve only used it for about a month, but it has been reliable. So far, so good. Very good product.

Same high quality product as the flashlight. I now own several flashlights that use this Li Ion cell. Still amazed by the power output by such a small battery.

I have quite a few ARB-L16-700 batteries. Work well and easy to charge. Easier than buying and trashing the CR123a batteries.

Haven’t been able to use the Fenix ARB-L16-700 Rechargeable Batteries because I mistakenly purchased these instead of the mini usb recharging kind. I don’t have a charger for these and the Fenix website is sold out of the charger/ battery kits. ☹️

There is no way to tell when the battery is low, and you have to take it out of the flashlight to charge it.

Gives good life at low to mid lumen settings…

I’m very satisfied with this 16340 battery! Haven’t had any issues out of it. It’s been working great in my Fenix E16.

It took awhile for me to finally find a replacement battery for the cr123 and this is the best one that I have found the charge last longer than the normal batteries I was was useing I found out the hard way that the surefire batteries are fake and now I only buy quality and this battery is it

Good alternative to regular CR123A’s
James (verified owner) –
Love this battery! It works great in the E15 and it lasts. Ever since I received the E15 about a month ago I had this battery in it and use the E15 every day and had not had to charge this battery yet! Been on medium setting. Best I ever used! Just ordered two more for upcoming camping trip.

In response to the previous reviewers question as to whether this battery can be used in the HL50. Fenix clearly states that it’s “banned” in the user manual. As far as the E15 and PD25 or PD22UE goes, it works wonderful. Compared to the EagleTac, Olight, & Nitecore 16340’s that I have, the Fenix battery has longer run time than the Nitecore NL166 (650mAh), & the Olight (650mAh) and slightly longer than my older ET (750mAh). This was using a PD25 with the same output level. The Fenix ARB-L16-700 is now my favorite 16340 battery.

The battery life of these 700 mAH compared to the 1400 mAh Tenergy CR123A is very noticeable in my PD22UE. I can perhaps get a few weeks of regular use (w/dimmed power) with the Tenergy but only a few days with these rechargeables. In addition, these do not dim at low charge; they cut off completely and cannot used with a lower brightness setting. I also briefly used the rechargeable with the Fenix HL50 headlamp, it limited the brightness setting to either low or high. Please advise if this rechargeable should or shouldn’t be used with either the PD22UE/HL50.
