Tất Tần Tật Về Pin Máy Ảnh Film PnS: Phân Biệt CR123A, 2CR5, CR2, CRP2

1. Common Types of Batteries for PnS Film Cameras

Currently on the market, popular battery types for Point and Shoot (PnS) film cameras include:

  • CR123A battery
  • CR2 battery
  • Battery 2CR5
  • CRP2 battery
  • AA battery

For each film camera, the manufacturer will allow the use of 01 corresponding type of battery. For example, it is impossible to insert CR2 battery into a machine that only uses CR123A battery and vice versa.

2. Note when choosing batteries for movie PnS cameras

2.1. Choose the correct battery type

You can look on Google, or look at the reviews Katreview.com "Technical Specifications" section to know what type of battery your machine uses: CR123A, CR2, 2CR5, CR-P2 or AA?

2.2. Choosing the correct voltage (Volt)

A type of battery can have many different voltages. You can determine the voltage (number of Volts) of the battery through observing the battery case (which is the number written before the letter V written IN), searching Google, asking the seller, or contacting Katreview through Messenger to get an answer.

Pin 2CR5 với điện áp 6V (6 Volt)
2CR5 battery with voltage 6V (6 Volt)

If you choose the right type of battery but the wrong voltage, especially in the case of a larger voltage (for example, putting a CR123A 3.7V battery in a PnS machine that only allows 3V) will cause the electrical circuit of the machine to be quickly damaged.

2.3. Choose a reputable place to sell

Currently (late 2025 early 2026), KatReview sees many people/shops buying fake/poor quality batteries from Shopee or other e-commerce platforms. There are many ways to distinguish poor quality batteries, but the quickest and easiest option is always to buy from genuine stores or famous and reputable photography accessories/battery/film stores.
