I was just wondering how the performance of these LiPos compare with a

application. Any thoughts?

I don't know what you mean by '123 cell' (as mentioned a CR123 is
non-rechargeable. The company A123 Systems made lithium iron phosphate for
EVs etc, probably a bit large for you!), but possibly the amount of current
that can be drawn. A drone is going to take much more continuously than a
camera.

model planes will fly on 123s. They are better than Nixx. But LIPO is
simply better than either.
