Below, we'll answer a few key questions that should help you choose the right batteries for your needs. Do you need a 23A battery? An A23 battery is cylindrical and approximately two-thirds the length of an AAA battery, measuring 28.2mm long and 10.0mm in diameter, with a typical weight of 8 grams. An A23 battery is an 8- cell device with a nominal voltage of 12 V. The higher voltage is necessary for the radio frequency- transmitting and receiving devices which A23 batteries often power. It has a capacity of around 55 mAh. [4]

If your device is compatible with one of the following battery codes, this is a sign you need one of the 12V alkaline power sources: 23AE, GP23A, V23GA, LRV08, 8LR932, 8LR23, MN21, L1028 or ANSI-1181A. How can you spot a 23A battery? While much rarer than AA and AAA counterparts, 23A batteries are still fairly commonplace in certain appliances and gadgets. However, it can be difficult to know what you actually need, since they go by many different names. A23 batteries are constructed of eight individual LR932 alkaline button cells enclosed in a wrapper. A 23 battery is cylindrical, measures 28.5mm long, 10.3mm in diameter, weighs roughly 8-10 grams and will come with a voltage of 12V. How much should you spend on 23A batteries? Like us, if you have a drawer full of different, loose batteries, you might already have a 23A battery in your arsenal. Aside from the codes - which are always found on the cell itself - it can be handy to know exactly what one looks like.The A23 battery (also referred to as 23AE, GP23A, V23GA, [1] LRV08, [2] 8LR932, [3] 8LR23, MN21, L1028 or ANSI-1181A) is a dry battery consisting of eight LR932 cells, with a nominal voltage of 12 V. The A23 battery is close in size to the N battery, which has a voltage of 1.25 V to 1.5 V. It is also similar to the A27 battery, which has the same 12 V nominal voltage and almost the same length but is smaller in diameter by about 20%.
