900mAh and 3.3Wh of energy
The 900CHT provides 900mAh of rated capacity and 3.3Wh of energy for compact devices using replaceable RCR123A/16340 cells. It offers greater energy capacity than FLEXTAIL's 650CHT version while retaining the same basic cell format.
Direct USB-C charging
A built-in USB-C charging connection means the cell can be recharged without a dedicated 16340 battery charger. FLEXTAIL specifies an approximately 2.5-hour full charging time, making the battery convenient for travel, camping and lightweight outdoor setups.
Compatibility
FLEXTAIL describes ZERO BATTERY as a standard 16340-format cell and offers 900mAh battery configurations with selected products including ZERO PUMP 2 and TINY HELIO 600Z. Before using it in another product, always check the required cell dimensions, terminal arrangement and the device's electrical requirements.
900CHT versus 900ZHF
900CHT should not be confused with FLEXTAIL's separate 900ZHF low-temperature version. Check the battery designation carefully if the dedicated low-temperature variant is required.
Cold-weather performance
For the ZERO BATTERY range, FLEXTAIL states that more than 60% of output capacity can be maintained at -20°C. This is a manufacturer performance statement rather than a complete operating-temperature specification.
