Specialty Batteries

Specialty batteries are batteries made for specific devices, with their own dimensions and voltage, outside the common sizes such as AA, AAA, C, D and 9V and button cells. The 12 V alkaline batteries in this category are used in garage door and car alarm remotes, wireless doorbells and similar small transmitters. The products are the Varta V23GA (A23) and Varta V27A (A27) types and are sold individually; both are cylindrical alkaline batteries with a rated voltage of 12 V. Choose the new battery according to the code on the old battery, the rated voltage and the body size; the 23A and V23GA codes in the device manual indicate the A23 type, and the 27A and V27A codes indicate the A27 type. Although the A23 and A27 have the same voltage, they do not replace each other: the A27 has a thinner body and the battery compartments of the two types differ.
