About the LR516 cell
Alkaline version of the same size; voltage sags as it drains.
LR516 questions
- Is LR62 the same as LR516?
- Yes. LR62 is another code for the same cell: alkaline, 1.5 V, 5.8 × 1.6 mm.
- Can I use SR516SW instead of LR516?
- Upgrade: steadier voltage, longer life.
- Will LR521 work in place of LR516?
- Same 5.8 mm diameter, but 2.1 mm tall instead of 1.6 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
- Will LR527 work in place of LR516?
- Same 5.8 mm diameter, but 2.7 mm tall instead of 1.6 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
- What voltage is LR516?
- LR516 is a 1.5 V alkaline cell with a typical capacity of 11 mAh.
- What size is LR516?
