A23 12V alkaline batteries in a ten pack
Where A23 batteries are used around the home
The A23 is the slim 12V cylinder hiding inside a surprising number of small transmitters. Car alarm remotes, wireless doorbells, door sensors, burglar alarms, laser pointers and gas lighters all commonly run on this size, which is why keeping a ten pack in the drawer makes sense for most households. Because these devices draw tiny amounts of current in short bursts, a single fresh cell can last a long while, but when a garage or alarm remote starts losing range, a flat battery is the first and cheapest thing to rule out. Many Australian garage remotes take the slightly fatter 27A size instead, and the 27A 12V alkaline battery pack is the one to grab in that case. Weak, intermittent operation that improves up close is the classic symptom of a fading 12V cell.
A23 equivalent codes to look for on your old battery
Battery makers label this cell under a confusing pile of names, so match any of these codes printed on your old battery: A23, 23A, LRV08, L1028, RVO8, MS21, MN21, E23A, K23A, V23GA, GP23A, 8LR932, 8LR23, VR22, 8F10R or EL12. They all describe the same 12V alkaline package, so any of them confirms this pack will fit. If the code on your remote battery starts with 27 rather than 23, you need the other common 12V size; the 10x alkaline 27A 12V MN27 LR27A batteries cover that family of codes. The full list is printed on most packaging, so cross-checking takes a moment.
Why buy a value ten pack rather than a single cell
Petrol stations and supermarkets charge a premium for a single blister-packed cell, and the 12V sizes are rarely on the shelf when you need one. Buying ten brand new alkaline cells at once works out far cheaper per battery and means every alarm remote, doorbell and sensor in the house can be refreshed at the same time. The high energy density design delivers the stable 12V output these transmitters expect. For devices running on 3V coin-style lithium instead, the CR1/3N 170mAh 3V lithium battery pack is worth a look. Date-code the cells with a marker when they go into the drawer and you will always know which spares are freshest.

Frequently asked questions
What devices take an A23 12V battery?
A23 cells are most common in small wireless transmitters: car alarm remotes, wireless doorbells, door and window sensors, burglar alarm keypads, laser pointers and some lighters. If your device lists any equivalent code such as 23A, MN21, V23GA, GP23A, LRV08 or 8LR932 on the old battery or in the manual, this pack is the right size.
Are A23 and 27A batteries interchangeable?
No. Both are 12V alkaline cells, but they are different physical sizes, so one will not sit properly in a compartment designed for the other. Check the code printed on the battery you are replacing: codes in the 23/MN21/V23GA family need this A23 pack, while 27A, MN27, LR27A, A27 and L828 markings call for the 27A size.
How should I store the spare batteries from the ten pack?
Keep unused cells in their packaging in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children, and avoid storing them loose with keys or coins where the terminals could short. Stored sensibly, alkaline cells hold their charge well, so the rest of the pack will be ready whenever a remote starts losing range.
How fast will this battery pack arrive?
Every order leaves the warehouse within 24 hours of being placed, and standard delivery within Australia typically takes one to five working days. Checkout accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Shop Pay and Apple Pay. If you order the wrong size, contact@theremotefactory.com.au can arrange a return under the 30-day policy.
