About the LR527 cell
Alkaline version of the same size; voltage sags as it drains.
LR527 questions
- Is LR64 the same as LR527?
- Yes. LR64 is another code for the same cell: alkaline, 1.5 V, 5.8 × 2.7 mm.
- Can I use SR527SW instead of LR527?
- Upgrade: steadier voltage, longer life.
- Will LR516 work in place of LR527?
- Same 5.8 mm diameter, but 1.6 mm tall instead of 2.7 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
- Will LR521 work in place of LR527?
- Same 5.8 mm diameter, but 2.1 mm tall instead of 2.7 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
- What voltage is LR527?
- LR527 is a 1.5 V alkaline cell with a typical capacity of 12 mAh.
- What size is LR527?
