It replaces the original cell when the camera fails to power on or can no longer hold a charge through a full shoot. Dimensions are 50.00 × 29.80 × 16.50mm — verify against your existing cell before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePR-123DG platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The PR-123DG uses a fixed-format Ni-MH pack at 2.4V — a chemistry that suits the camera's constant-current draw across the sensor, shutter, and LCD backlight without the BMS complexity of Li-ion packs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on the bench, confirming the BMS accepted the pack without error flags and that voltage held stable through repeated shutter-trigger events.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-use charge cycle on the PR-123DG:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Run one complete charge cycle through the camera body or OEM charger before your first shoot. Ni-MH cells can ship at partial state of charge, and the camera's battery-remaining indicator maps to a full-cycle discharge curve — skipping this step produces inaccurate level readings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the PR-123DG shows a dead-battery indicator on a partially charged replacement cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells have a flatter discharge curve than Li-ion, and the PR-123DG's fuel gauge is calibrated against a known discharge profile from a conditioned cell. A new or partially charged replacement doesn't match that profile, so the camera reads voltage against the wrong reference point and triggers the low-battery warning early. The fix is straightforward: charge the replacement fully before first use, then run the pack down through normal shooting. After one complete cycle, the camera's indicator re-maps to the new cell's actual curve and reads accurately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eFlash not fully recycling between shots on a new cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe PR-123DG's flash capacitor pulls a short, high-current spike each time it recharges between exposures. If the cell voltage sags during that spike — common when a replacement cell hasn't been fully conditioned — recycle time increases noticeably and the ready indicator lags. This isn't a fault in the battery; it's a break-in characteristic of Ni-MH chemistry. Run two to three full charge-discharge cycles and the internal resistance drops, bringing recycle current back to normal. Check that the cell is reading at or above 2.4V under load before dismissing a recycle-speed issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43333847679066,"sku":"BWCS-KLICA2-1","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43333847711834,"sku":"BWCS-KLICA2-2","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43333847744602,"sku":"BWCS-KLICA2-3","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-KLICA2_1.webp?v=1778213291","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/polaroid-pr-123dg-replacement-battery-24v-1800mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
