First thing is to explain A23 battery usage and replacement models. The A23 battery is a dry cell-type battery. This battery type is mainly used in small electronic keychain radio devices, remote controls, garage door remotes, and other similar devices.

Those devices are designed to draw current in brief, occasional pulses, and they need 12V current to work properly.

12V 23A battery equivalent models

A23 replacement equivalent types are: GP23A, LRV08, L1028, RVO8, 23A, MS21, MN21, E23A, K23A, V23GA, 8LR932, 8LR23, VR22, 8F10R, CA20, MN21/23, 3LR50, A23, GP23A, 23AE, A23, A23S, and P23GA. There are plenty of them as you can see.

What battery replaces 23A? The answer is: GP23A, LRV08, L1028, RVO8, 23A, MS21, MN21, E23A, K23A, V23GA, 8LR932, 8LR23, VR22, 8F10R, CA20, MN21/23, 3LR50, A23, GP23A, 23AE, A23, A23S, and P23GA.

Interesting to know is that A23 battery type is made of eight individual LR932 alkaline battery pieces. These small button cells (8 pieces) are positioned in series and wrapped to construct cell-type batteries.

One more fact good to know that A23 and 23A are the same type model. It represents 12V cell type alkaline batteries mostly used in some remote controls to provide enough power draw current in peak time lapse.

Where is this battery used?

The A23 battery is a dry cell-type battery. This battery type is mainly used in small electronic keychain radio devices. You can find them inside keyless vehicle entry systems, home security systems, garage door openers, and Bluetooth headsets.

23A 12V battery size

An A23 battery is a cylindrical (cell-type) battery model. At first sight it looks like a AAA battery but a lot shorter and smaller in diameter. Precise 23A 12V battery dimensions are: 28.5mm (1-1/8) long and 10.3mm (3/8) in diameter. Typically it weighs 8 grams. An A23 battery is an 8-cell device with a nominal voltage of 12 V.

We call these High Voltage Alkaline Batteries.
