Insignia™ - CR123 Batteries (6-Pack)

I have to say that these are not good batteries at all. My Arlo cameras need four batteries per device and we have two cameras. So I bought two packs of batteries and used one pack of six on one camera and two more from the other pack of batteries. One camera turned on fine but the other camera said low battery. So I switched out the batteries in the camera for the four remaining in the package. Guess what? It says the same thing, low battery. I think it's the camera, so I switch the batteries from the working camera to the low battery camera and guess what? It powers up just fine. So I basically spent $35 on two packs of batteries and only got four good batteries out of twelve. DO NOT BUY!!!

I have bought CR123 batteries on the cheap from online retailers and they can sometimes shut down a camera or make the entire system work improperly. Rechargable batteries that I have tried have the same problem. These do an adequate job of feeding the hungry Arlos at a price that is mildly better than the brands that are recommended. My main recommendation is to spend the extra money on an Arlo that doesn't take this style battery.

I used these in my Arlo HD, against many recommendations, but they were on sale, I had some BB Points to redeem, and 3 of my cameras needed batteries, so what did I have to lose? It's been a month and they are at 1/2 life, which is about average. I get about 2.5/3 months out of fresh batteries and these are right on par. Depending on the price and local availability when the time comes to replace these, I may go back with the store brand CR123 for my Arlo HD cameras. Good deal for far!

I recently bought a pair of mini high-output flashlights that use this particular size of battery for my wife and myself. The flashlight at maximum output can really burn through the batteries. So far, the quality of these batteries are matching the name brands at a less expensive price point. What else could you ask for other than for your wife to understand that it doesn't need to be on max output all the time, lol.

I needed to replace the batteries for my Arlo cameras. I was hesitant based off reviews on Arlo website that batteries not purchased through Arlo do not last long. A sales rep stated he uses them for his cameras with no issues. I'm glad I took his recommendation because I am now going on 2 months with no replacement and they still aren't at 50%. I get alerts on this camera maybe once or twice a day so I can say the camera has activity and the batteries are still working.

I bought these batteries to use in my original Arlo cameras, as I have seen with other brands of batteries when using these batteries the camera has issues. The battery will show full power, however the camera will not connect to the network. The other issue I have seen is the camera will connect fine after installing batteries then go offline after a few days, and batteries will have to be removed and re-inserted to get camera working again.

For the price we were excited to purchase this package of batteries. Normally they are twice the price so we should have known there could be a reason. We use them for our security system cameras and my husband small pocket hoghpowered flashlight. They lasted about half the time of the regular ones we purchase. So these could be viewed with both pros and cons.

I got 12 batteries from Best Buy for the price of only 2-3 single batteries from the 2 major brands. I only really needed one battery at the time for my motion detector but later discovered I would be needing more for my door & window sensors. Great Deal! I wouldn't have chosen this item if the Best Buy associate hadn't shown it to me so kudos to them too.
