Choosing Specialist & Industrial Batteries

Start with the size code on the battery you are replacing, then check the voltage and pack size.

Button and coin cells

Every GP button cell here is a 3.0V lithium cell, and most come in packs of five. They suit uses such as clocks, remote controls, backup batteries and calculators. The Duracell CR2025 suits bike computers, postal and bathroom scales, glucose meters and pedometers, and it carries a ring-shaped bitter layer using Bitrex to discourage swallowing by babies and toddlers.

Frequently asked questions

What are specialist batteries?

Specialist batteries are cells made for particular devices rather than everyday AA or AAA use. Examples include lithium coin cells for key fobs and scales, zinc air cells for hearing aids and lithium photo cells for cameras. When replacing one, read the code printed on the old cell and buy the same type. The range here includes sealed lead-acid batteries for alarm and fire panels.
